HAIKUS

Charred and broken flesh,

Bodies fall limp from their sins,

And turn black as mud

Their mother is there.

Their mother, is not their own

She belongs to white.

12/16/2021

Our heads bowed under,

With no connection to home.

Bodies lost at sea.

12/16/2021

The white, pure, the cotton

We could not be like cotton.

Be plucked for our sins. 

12/16/2021

Now it is silent.

How do we outrun white men?

We hum, down under.
