i have been
woke
for some time now…
and i have walked
many roads…
it seems lately
I write to memorialize
to remember,
to look back;
It is my way.
i step into the future
gingerly
hoping for time and success.
while my past
is full of richness,
the wealth of historical teachers
and historical times.
i am of the ancestors now,
my works will serve to teach
and show
the meaning i have made
of
this life
and of
these times.
(for playwright Ntozake Shange–rest with the ancestors)
