Bohemia Daydreamia
Soul Glow Afro Oh No
You Go
Girl
Fist up Pro Black
All that and a bag of
Chips
Wide Hips Full Lips
Pearly Whites
Dyn-o-mite
Brown skin that she's in
head thrown back in laughter
Indulge in a piece of her
energy
as the wind carries her
slim gold hoops & giant bangles
examining you from every angle
knowledge slips from her fountain
whoopin'hollerin'twistin'shoutin
then slowly drifting in its pace
envision the rainbow across her face
Diaspora - we all relate
Your sista, my sista, our sista
In Love is her place

US

Us

I cannot remember me

Without thinking of you

Our history so intertwined

Like roses on a vine

The east end your stomping ground

West Side was mine

But you became my family

The sister I never had

The one I’m still privileged to know

Thru the ups and the downs you were always around

And for that I’m eternally glad

Life’s moments we’ve shared, some laughter some tears

Evenly spread throughout the years but

It’s ok

Cause ‘Back in the Day’

Means so much because You were there

Braiding Hair

Rollerskating in y’all basement on Germain

Were we insane? There were

Poles in the middle of the floor!

Walking to the store five times or more

All on a summer’s day.

Bike riding

Walking downtown

Giggling at everything and nothing

From break dance battles

To baby rattles

Cedarbrook park

Your mother’s fireplace when it got dark

West 4^th St

Juny’s White Cloud

We rocked the Bells with LL

Endured all of life’s changes together. I would NEVER

trade it in because You are my

FRIEND

A name so rich in meaning

All thru life’s seasons, no matter the circumstance, time or reason

You will always be my

Friend.
