Walking Arawak Road
For Pop-pop
After Audre Lorde’s Hugo I
once i was coral
living breathing speaking
to you
who would listen
once
layered days ago
lifetimes
storm was affirmation
once you were the you I prayed for
once rain was blessing living breathing once
we built our days
for presence
because where air
touch ground
touch water
is now
is always
people without winter
who could float
sometime we knew
we would always exist
that our bodies
deep of water
would shout our names
some hurricane later
we were here
we were
here
we
where
hush
once
we were not afraid
to blow away
