Aesthetic blackness—longer hopes, requiem passions, to
have relinquished mind, body & soul; most begun in poverty, triumph &
damages, required to have wings; born in aqua grays, deep cacophonies,
starkness of nakedness, naïve & young, by sin of those walking deserts. Yokes
& bondage—success & alienation, demands bred of arts; regality of
souls, trespassed in spirit, reborn, the diaspora, sewn into gallicas, hibiscus,
mourning elders as they pass. Re-coping. Intimate with noodles. Rinsing sodium.
Aesthetic blackness, many shades, one color—rivers, portraits, spirituals. A
student of the living, watching scholars of the cultures, seduced by myriad
shadows: biblic or secular, fighting to persist, kneeling metaphorically,
figuratively, literally—mind curriculum, soul chalkboards, acrobatic mysticism.
Imaginative excellence, indifference, with hearts touched & hushing lights.
