This poem is the immediate reactions I had the night my mother was murdered. From the thought of my stepdad dying to the shocking revelation that my mother was the one who had passed.

As Langston said

“My soul has grown deep like the rivers”

Her head touches the rail of the bed

The wood being the instrument the Lord uses as he delivers

Flashing lights, shrieking sirens

Silence

Chaotic commotions, sillouhette shaped stretchers

Anxiously awaiting as an air of awareness awakens me

The lords angels flew

To 142 somers ave

The early evening sky

Turned grey as jski died

Then it became a lie

Twas not his day to die

Terrible tasting salt then touched my tongue

The body knew when the angels had sung

Bernadette was the Lords preference

She had outgrown this worlds residence
