Excerpt: (About seven years ago I found a slave manifest from St. Vincent and the
Grenadines dated in the late 1700 on one of the ancestry sites. In that manifest I found enslaved Africans given the name Lowman; They are my ancestors. This poem is based off of that.)

Title: Dreamwalker

Last night
I had a dream.
I was in chains.
Captured by a pirate
named Lowman
planted on a sugar plantation
in Chateaubelair.
Enslaved
on a tiny island
that in the waking world
my feet have never touched.
My eyes gaze
at the Caribbean Sea
and towards
the Grenadines.

Paradise quickly
turned to hell
by the whip
at my back.
Flesh split open
blood trickles
from
back
to glutes
to hamstring
to ankle
to Vincentian soil.

If only
I could grow
a new me
from blood
like seeds
and that man
would be free.

Instead, I toil
in chains
on a British colony.
Bound in an
ancestorial dream.

Excerpt: (As a professional counselor this poem means a lot to me.)

TITLE: Beautiful Brown Skin

Don't believe the lie
sunshine
The dark clouds are not powerful
enough to sn**ch you
out of the sky.

On rainy days
it is hard for her to
keep the pain away
because it is trapped inside
hiding from her emotions.
With a weaving motion
she slices the skin
attempting to feel again.
Listening,
to the voice in her head
telling her that she is worthless,
her life meaningless,
and would be better breathless.
But those words are lies;
fabrications.

You are beautiful, sunshine.
One of a kind,
and your future is bright;
luminous, glorious, and radiant
putting the stars to shame,
and God knows your name.
He formed you with his hands.
A unique creation.
A monumental achievement
for the creator of everything.

Beautiful skin
not made for razors
and other sharpened things.

Just as beautiful skin
was not made for whips
scarring backs,
ropes that burn and break necks,
or chains that bind the wrist.
Your life matters.
You matter.

Don't believe the lie
sunshine.
The dark clouds are not powerful
enough to sn**ch you
out of the sky.
