Your Attractive Heading

   “waves remember me well.” Emmanuel Oppong-Yeboah


Do not ask me who I am
’cause my tongue is tethered to darkness.
Father calls me his heir & mother; “my son.”
“This is my brother.” Aisha introduces me
to her beautiful black friend.

Is the moon also the sun?
Or is it the sun that breaks
Into scintillae we call stars?
I swallowed the air wind many times
& a tempest roils in my head
& calls me names I can’t pronounce
remember.

This body is a portrait of a sinking ship–
Hope is a fallen off keel I hold on to–
I drown in the quest of finding myself.
Only the Atlantic can tell me of my body;
Waves remember me well.

Adieu!
