amiri baraka has passed
hear him tunes ba doo da singing the
lines before the lines, breifcase, papers, grace
*
i carried it on out home resonating
ba doo da, saying it how it is and
making us all in a word trance and
holding us til the end point to feel it all
in the afterspace of the spell
*
amiri baraka has passed leave the
legacy sounding on strong and alert
and magical me paused a moment
thanksgiving to have heard him send his reading
around the room that day, spark to tinder
us all in a word trance and then the
afterspace
*
amiri baraka has passed
amiri baraka has passed
amiri baraka
