Psalm 9: Manhandling His Color
I wouldn’t know
About the earth
If my mother didn’t have
A growling voice
She told me there was more
Than the sky
But I was the sky
Air is where I bore her
Earthly grounded
Earth and mud is where she visited
The darkened terrain of lowly mankind
I told mother
Join me up here
Live for the beauty of your brothers’ own perchance
See me alive
Over the clouds
Come to the highlighted blue
You are my wonder
Mother said
Wonderful
