  140                                        nooses hang on a cieling. quiet. still.
and maybe if you allow yourself to get lost in the eerie solitude of silenced,
you, too will hear the black screams.
of Men. of Women. even Kids.
140 nooses circle above my head.
they cry from the depths of their souls.
they beg.
they question.
and always scream.
i hear them.

an elephant NEVER forgets.

Toyi-toyi

they call us animals.

so we shake Earth like an angry herd


when we chant and walk and dance


to the rhythm of our own anger.

Courage Is Contagious


Within me lives a
S U P E R H E R O
who is swift and comes to
the rescue of those who need me.

I prefer, however, not to wear a cape.
