i was raised on
plantation lullabies
church hymns &
jook parties in basements
boom box rockin
new wave, hip-hop & classical opera
i am born of they whom
when pushed to the edge
got down to get up
they who put quill to parchment
they who raised voice to heavens
they who are the light in the dark
i am the heart beat & break beat
memory & melody
sugar & strychnine
the moan of angels, & the sigh of time.......
