UNDER A SOPRANO SKY

A POEM FOR MY FATHER (96 YEARS OLD ON FEB. 29, 2000)

A PRAISE POEM FOR NINA SIMONE

AND A NEW GEOGRAPHY GREETED HIM

AND HE CAME MY BROTHER AT SEVENTEEN

AND THE BARS. THE GLITTER. THE LIGHT

AND THE DAYS RUMMAGING HIS EYES

AND THE JOY. FEELING

AT THE CENTER OF

AUTUMN. A BONFIRE

AWAY FROM YOU THESE

BABY. YOU ARE SWEET

BEAR THE RHYTHM OF

BECAME ROMEO BOUND, APPLAUDED WOMEN

BEFORE I TRAVEL

BLOOD THE SOUND OF BLOOD PADDLING DOWN THE ROAD

CAME THE RALLIES SPONSORED BY NEW YORK STORE

CAME THE SUMMER OF NINETEEN SIXTY

CAUSE WE ARE CARVING

COME INTO BLACK GEOGRAPHY

DON'T GO. IF YOU GO

EARTH EYES. BREATHING ME

FAMILIARIZE YOUR

FATHER. I DESPISE YOU FOR ABANDONING ME

FIRST HE AUCTIONED OFF HIS LEGS. EYES

HIS VOICE USED TO SING

HOW CAN YOU COMFORT

HOW TO ERECT RESPECT IN A COUNTRY OF MEN

I AM SETTLING DOWN

I AM THE FROZEN

I DID NOT WANT TO LEAVE YOU SON, THIS FLAME

I GUESS. THIS IS WHAT

I HAVE LOOKED INTO

I HAVE WALKED A LONG TIME

I KNEEL DOWN LIKE A

I LEAN BACK AND FEEL

I LISTEN FOR YOU

I WAS A SOUTHERN NEGRO MAN PLAYING MUSIC

I WAS TOLD I DON'T REMEMBER WHO

I WISH IT WERE MID

I'M IN THE MIDDLE

IMAGINE HIM SHORT AND BLACK

JUST THE TWO OF US

JUST YOU. JUST ME. JUST

LET ME BE YOUR FLUTE

LIKE BIGGER THOMAS

LOVE. YOU ARE. YOU ARE

MAN, I AM TRYING

MISSING YOU IS LIKE

MORNING SNOW FALLING

MOTHER. I LOVE YOU. YOU ARE MY LIVING SAINT

MY BODY WAITING

NEVER MAY MY THIRST

NIGHT PUMPING LIKE AN

NOW MY SEVENTY-EIGHT YEARS URGE ME ON YOUR LAND

ONCE I WAS CHASTE WITH

OUR BODIES MADE RAIN

ROCKING HER WHITE FEET

RUMOR HAS IT THAT HE SLAPPED HER HARD

SEVENTY-ONE YEARS

SHE WASN'T AS BEAUTIFUL AS MY FIRST WIFE

SHREDDING MY YEARS AND

SISTER. I AM NOT YOUR TRUE BROTHER

SUMMER HAS SPED

DAY HE TRAVELED TO MY DAUGHTER'S HOUSE

RAIN TASTES LOVELY

SERMON FOR EACH DAY WAS MY FATHER

TREES ARE LAUGHING

THEN I BEGAN AN AWAKENING A FLOWERING OUTSIDE

THERE ARE TIMES THAT THE

THESE AUTUMN TREES SIT

THESE WORDS STAINED WITH RED

THIS LOVE. THIS FIRST WIFE OF MINE, DIED IN CHILDBIRTH

THIS WAS A MIGRATION UNLIKE

WA MA NE HO MENE SO OO

WE ARE GATHERERS

WE BE. GONNA BE

WE STUMBLED INTO

WHAT DO I KNOW OF

WHAT DOES A LIVER KNOW OF PEACE

WHAT IS IT ABOUT

WHEN I LOOK AT YOU

WHEN I RETURN HOME

WHEN YOU LEFT I RAN

WOMAN ROCKING HER

WOMAN. WHOSE COLOR

WOULD YOU PLEASE RETURN

YOU ARE AMBLE AND

YOU DO NOT KNOW THE

YOU HAVE PIERCED ME SO

YOU HAVE STAMPED YOUR HOUR
