Selected Poems from

Nia: Haiku, Sonnets, Sun Songs

By neo-griot Kalamu ya Salaam

 

 

 

he gets off at 4:30 / it's 6:09

 

here . . .

 

an unencumbered softness

my naked breast / taste me

 

the luminous curve of crimson

lips eager to flutter

 

across bearded dark fullness / kiss me

the form fitting expectancy

 

of tense anxious arms / embrace me

a moist tangled crescent

 

immodestly blanketing

my fertility / enter me

 

none of me is mine

all of me is yours

 

here am I / where are you?
