Writing on the Wall


One black man's essence plastered in pure white
like the pillars of prominence that preceded him

One black man's tireless gaze towards the east
where the sun shares a new promise per day—

illuminating the Tidal Basin's tepid pool—part
mystique part memory and part morgue for fallen

and forgotten cherry blossoms drowned deep
like dreams deferred—waiting and wishing upon

the wisdom of the stars that see through the frost

a germinal generation ready to spring forth....
