Mahogany hands Reach through the flowing wind Full of oxygen and pollen and pollution A mahogany girl sits in the green grass Waiting for the white bus that is slow Expressional brown eyes Look into the blue sky Painted with teals and slates and colors Other than sky blue The weather is warm and schizophrenic An impending uncertainty The smell of rain faint but noticeable In the distance White lightning slashes through the sky Mahogany skin cannot feel The intensity But mahogany skin can feel The static in the air The mahogany skin prickles all over As the current dances
Suddenly there stands A man dressed plainly In a white t-shirt and blue jeans and a golden cross Who vaguely resembles Daniel Radcliffe facially But has never been told so The greeny plant people Dance wildly to the rhythm called wind Then the sky pours its heart on Tuscaloosa Filling the air with a myriad of water Mahogany drowns on a Monday
This is one my UA poems. Written 2-28-2011. It's strange for me to see this now. A few months after this, there was a tornado that tore six miles through Tuscaloosa, including about 30 ft from my apartment. The weather was worse than this on April 27th.
