"moun" poems - Hello Poetry

I thought you'd left us, long ago desolate on a swing rocking stale, dry grass and still air crossing never quite the hurdle lost unaware sweating youth in this humidity I thought we'd never make it past the rusty red and brown of weathered fences like felt moun They tains Made of dirt (guilt) and an endless turmoiling scent, still fresh I thought you'd forlorned us h e a v y r a i n and warm bodies standing next to oxidized hoops one adjacent to the other The haze of the heat hard, but not impossible to withstand swaying like the gust of wind, swaying the blazing sun and my open palms swaying Why was it here that it felt like you left us stumped, unaware, consuming with no idea of the Greater 2. W H A T was it about inner cities And skin that would tan Or resist the sun that made you mutter murky words judgement that made me hike a K A E P that for so long made feel like a (lost) traveler unable to come find my way D O W N. Still on a mountain top Never quite crossing the hurdle. That’s how you wanted me A B A N D O N E D. 3. But my tongue made sounds copper pots and plastic measuring cups became the pious accompaniment of a song sung inwardly until it manifested Words on lips Lips willing to kiss the purple clouds made out of strange fruit and a high border walls over my hand and back 4. A Swimsuit and a pool that could cool me small children see the cicatrixes But I walk towards the water; I have long abandoned shame.

Abandoned (dream poem. 1 )

I thought you'd left us, long ago desolate on a swing rocking stale, dry grass and still air crossing never quite the hurdle lost unaware sweating youth in this humidity I thought we'd never make it past the rusty red and brown of weathered fences like felt moun They tains Made of dirt (guilt) and an endless turmoiling scent, still fresh I thought you'd forlorned us h e a v y r a i n and warm bodies standing next to oxidized hoops one adjacent to the other The haze of the heat hard, but not impossible to withstand swaying like the gust of wind, swaying the blazing sun and my open palms swaying Why was it here that it felt like you left us stumped, unaware, consuming with no idea of the Greater 2. W H A T was it about inner cities And skin that would tan Or resist the sun that made you mutter murky words judgement that made me hike a K A E P that for so long made feel like a (lost) traveler unable to come find my way D O W N. Still on a mountain top Never quite crossing the hurdle. That’s how you wanted me A B A N D O N E D. 3. But my tongue made sounds copper pots and plastic measuring cups became the pious accompaniment of a song sung inwardly until it manifested Words on lips Lips willing to kiss the purple clouds made out of strange fruit and a high border walls over my hand and back 4. A Swimsuit and a pool that could cool me small children see the cicatrixes But I walk towards the water; I have long abandoned shame.

Mwen te fèt nan mond sa, Mond lan nan peche ak dezespwa, Tankou lòt moun... Mwen te mache yon chemen nan pèsyade. Mwen te fèt nan mond sa, Yon mond nan peche san lafwa, Tankou lòt moun... Mwen sote nan lanmè a nan trayizon segondè. Men avèk favè Bondye, Mèsi pou Bondye pitye, Mwen gen yon nouvo lavi Epi mwen vle pataje levanjil la. Mwen te fèt nan mond sa, Mond lan nan peche san paswa, Tankou lòt moun... Mwen te monte ti mòn lan nan tout dèt. Mwen te fèt nan mond sa, Yon mond nan peche ak tout jwa Tankou lòt moun... Mwen te kouche nan kabann lan avèk laperèz. Men avèk favè Bondye, Mèsi pou Bondye pitye, Mwen gen yon nouvo lavi Epi mwen vle pataje levanjil la. Mwen konnen kounye a sa... Gen jijman, Gen kòmandman Gen volonte Bondye, Epi gen favè Bondye. Pa gen okenn kriye ankò, Pa gen okenn lensomni ankò, Gen Bondye pitye sèlman Se yon privilèj pou gen favè vrèman. Favè Bondye.

Papa Nowèl te pè pase sou Chanmas Nan lari Pòtoprens. Bal tap tire an mas Tout kote. Anpil moun sere anba kabann Teroris yo kwè chyen nan yon move savann Yo tout kote ak gwo zam ke yo pa fabrike an Ayiti Bandi yo ap touye e terorize tout moun Mèm vye chat ak rat kap kouri nan ravinn Bagay yo grav e danjere nan peyi Dayiti Tonton Nowèl te pè se sak fè kel pat pase Ane sila. Pèsonn moun pa konn kilè ke Bagay sa, dezòd, krim, kanaj sa yo ap chanje Fini. Pate gen mès minwi, tout pòtt legliz te fèmen Bandi ak sapat yo gen gwo zam ki trè chè Ke tonton blan yo bayo kòm kado Nwèl Pou pèp la ka al kreve pi fon nan lanfè Sak pi rèd djab sal ak vye san pwèl Pè al nan simetyè pou al leve moun ke Yo te touye. Se chyen manje chyen Se chat manje chat. Se chyen manje rat Moun antrave nan peyi sila. Se chat Manje rat. Se chyen manje rat ak chat Sa se laraj. Moun pa janm te konn tande Vye istwa sa yo. Kilè ke bagay sa ap fini, chanje Kilè ke kolon oligaka, loksidan e sanzave Sa yo ap kite ti pèp la an repo e kilè Ke ti pèp la ap revolte, kilè, fout kilè Dyaspora a fatige pèdi lajan ak propriete Nan peyi sa. Kilè ke tout teroris sa yo Ap disparèt. Map fout rele anmwey. Yo You, map pale ak ou. I’m talking to you Map fout pale ak ou, wi ak ou Kokorat, zwazo mechan, ipokrit, sanzave Pa fout pale de revolisyon. Sispann reve Ouvri je nou. Wi map pale ak ou tou Pè Nowèl te pè, oken malere e ti moun Pat resevwa oken kado sèl move moun Kap touye e terorize pèp la tap fete. Lapolis Lame ak nèg Loni yo, se kòm si ke yo paka fè plis Se mwens ke yo fè sèlman. Nèg CPT yo touche Gwo lajan, sak nan pouvwa resevwa anpil lajan Nèg yo ap defann pòch, yo pap defann Patri Yo pap pwoteje pèp, yo pap defann Ayiti Ikrèn resevwa gwo kado, gwo zetrenn Ayiti resevwa gwo anbago, wi nou konprann Bandi, teroris, gangstè, loksidan ak olygaka ap vale tèren Gwoup kriminèl yo ap mennen Ti Jezi pat ale an Ayiti, li te pè. Papa Nwèl pat pase Li te pè natirèlman. An nou panse, reflechi anpil jisko printan. P.S. This poem is dedicated to all who are suffering in Haiti. Pèp Ayisyen ak dyaspora a bouke pran imilasyion. Aba la mizè, insekirite koripsyion, krim, injistis, inpinite, diskriminasyon, e inegalite. See translation of ‘Santa Claus Was Afraid to Pass Through Port-au-Prince, Haiti’.

“But it is no a matter of choice; I can live here only [with you]. I am a part of this scene; each and all its properties are a part of me…” As it is a part of you we are both children of the red earth—grown into adults—nourished by its water and clear, crisp mountain air. I know now, having left, that I cannot truly call any place home other than our single rectangle of red dirt and blue white-tipped moun’ains. I can live anywhere with you, but I now understand and feel the connection you spoke to me when I proposed leaving it for a while to you. We are a part of this land—it courses through our veins; you can take certain plants from their native soil, and they may survive, but they will never thrive; we can only thrive, flourish, in our Colorado.

I saw it in a magazine, on a gloomy indoors night. The art of deconstructing; I read the article. It took things apart, but didn't place them back together. Deconstructing, where taking apart someone's soul becomes as easy as unscrewing a box. Deconstructing, we take each part and lay it tidily over a white table. And we do too, deconstruct. Like children unhappy of their building blocks masterpiece, we fall apart. Everything we ever thought we were comes away with a blow of the wind. We dissect our minds, and become like all the others, broken, empty. We deconstruct and build ourselves upon society's stereotypes. We moun our lawn of personality, all of our flowers gone. Crushes, smashes, sounds of death. We have become like all the others. The art of deconstructing, or as they call it, the Art of tiding up.

The art of Deconstructing

I saw it in a magazine, on a gloomy indoors night. The art of deconstructing; I read the article. It took things apart, but didn't place them back together. Deconstructing, where taking apart someone's soul becomes as easy as unscrewing a box. Deconstructing, we take each part and lay it tidily over a white table. And we do too, deconstruct. Like children unhappy of their building blocks masterpiece, we fall apart. Everything we ever thought we were comes away with a blow of the wind. We dissect our minds, and become like all the others, broken, empty. We deconstruct and build ourselves upon society's stereotypes. We moun our lawn of personality, all of our flowers gone. Crushes, smashes, sounds of death. We have become like all the others. The art of deconstructing, or as they call it, the Art of tiding up.

Ti bebe GG nan kay la Li fèt nan bèl mwa mas sa a Ant sezon ivè ak prentan Pa te gen okenn nèj sou gazon an Men, te gen ti boujon toupre letan an Ak yon nouvo lakansyèl nan lè a. Ti bebe GG, tout bon, nan kay la Li te akeyi pa tout fanmi an Li gen yon souri ki klere tout tan E deja li gen yon estil ki fen e inik O! Li fè tout moun fyè e kontan Anplis de sa, li renmen "Mickey Mouse" ak ti komik. P.S. Baby GG is my newest granddaughter.
