“A country is only as strong as the people who make it up and the country turns into what the people want it to become. Now, this country is going to be transformed. It will not be transformed by an act of God, but by all of us, by you and me.” - James Baldwin

A LOVE POEM WRITTEN FOR STERLING BROWN            

 (after reading a New York Times article re   a mummy kept preserved for about 300 years) I’m gonna get me some mummy tape for your love preserve it for 3000 years or more I’m gonna let the world see you tapping a blue shell dance of love I’m gonna ride your love bareback on totem poles bear your image on mountains turning in ocean sleep string your sighs thru the rainbow of old age. In the midst of desert people and times I’m gonna fly your red/eagle/laughter ‘cross the sky. 

– Sonia Sanchez
