Quite a few people leave links afterwards. (Tho' it does help folks find your work.) You *can* (if your platform allows you to do that) send a pingback to the GYPO link, which is handy.

The poem is a part of a group of poems that I am slowly slogging my way through. I felt that mash up invitation was a good chance to look at some of my poems again. I found a fragment that I had put aside and decided to make those lines the voice of the "owner". Thank you Donald. The poem is a part of a group of poems that I am slowly slogging my way through.

Ieisha, this is a very moving piece. You used the term Maafa Cycle. In Kiswahili maafa is the term for disaster. The Cycle a term for the Black Holocaust of the Atlantic Slave trade. There is the truth of so many metaphors in the poetry. I read your meaning. I truly found it relevant and substantive. A great painful joy to read. Thank you for sharing. Regards, DH I could not leave my comment on your site.

I like your use of Shakespeare, but then you already knew that since thrice the brinded cat hath mew'd. Regards, DH Thou that art now the world’s fresh ornament,

There is the poignant sense with this metaphor of a tragic but ultimately redressed overlooking.

Dusty sunlit shelves filled to capacity Holding precious items for an eternity Silently resting, awaiting resurrection That redeeming day of satisfaction That time when eager hands grasping Will lift that mysterious parcel lingering Release it from bondage, I say Let it see the light of day Leave on that shelf and empty spot Mysterious items, like many human beings Sometimes fill dusty shelves unseen Awaiting the time for their moment This wait is pure agony spent ENTREPOT…………..
Dusty sunlit shelves filled to capacity
Holding precious items for an eternity
Silently resting, awaiting resurrection
That redeeming day of satisfaction
That time when eager hands grasping
Will lift that mysterious parcel lingering
Release it from bondage, I say
Let it see the light of day
Leave on that shelf and empty spot
Mysterious items, like many human beings
Sometimes fill dusty shelves unseen
Awaiting the time for their moment
This wait is pure agony spent

It's like you have created a bridge between life and death. The walking and traveling of one poem counters the death stop of the other. Very good choices. Thank you. Wordsculptor,

How did I become so fortunate? I would say, "Nay, you are not a tattered weed!" You are only a poet who understands how to crochet the fruits of love into juicy poems. Well done, sweet Rallentanda!
