Those who do
not want to honor
truly honor
Black History
Should not interrupt
those who are
living it
and looking
out of eyes of
endurance
all we can do
is live
what joy filled tears
we never shed
and tell the truth
with love
in the swimming pool
of God’s weary eye
We are told to rend
our hearts
not our outward draperies
the earth is rent
and rented
to us
for the
price of our care
and like any
other dispossession
the dispossessing
shall leave us
despairing
repenting
too late
And what if
our lives
are loaned to us
for some interwoven
pattern
purpose
and this brief handful of days
reminds
the soul
of duty
yet
unpaid
