This is not a small voice

you hear this is a large

voice coming out of these cities.

This is the voice of LaTanya.

[5]Kadesha. Shaniqua. This

is the voice of Antoine.

Darryl. Shaquille.

Running over waters

navigating the hallways

[10]of our schools spilling out

on the corners of our cities and

no epitaphs1 spill out of their river mouths.

This is not a small love

you hear this is a large

[15]love, a passion for kissing learning

on its face.

This is a love that crowns the feet with hands

that nourishes, conceives, feels the water sails

mends the children,

[20]folds them inside our history where they

toast more than the flesh

where they suck the bones of the alphabet

and spit out closed vowels.

This is a love colored with iron and lace.

[25]This is a love initialed Black Genius.

This is not a small voice

you hear.
