(30/30) Aswad (After Nina)

The Prompt for day 30: write a poem about something that returns.



I am remembering a photo,
I could smell its blackness;

Duke, Raven and Cocoa Butter.

They coil together without apology,
courageous and thundering.

They were the shape of the universe;
Afro blue suspended in tangerine and
cotton candy nebula

voices like pineapple syrup
over pound cake.

I turn the volume up on
their beauty

tasting each note

touching their sound;

the want for this type
of love is
returning.
