gaunt morning light lady dresses in silence and rile takes herself to shakerag see yellow eye lwa woman head in brown rag make root work yellow eye woman shakes head points stick finger bone is still covered take this passes something lady tucks bag in private place wandering by bayou pissau lis growin’ yellow zirondelle floating over water delicate long legged ibis dipping for food at water’s edge ‘gator slippin’ up sudden feathers ibis gone lady thinkin’ we different ja’i gros couer I got heart pretty feathers charcoal man got gumbo like ‘gator gris gris I slipped to his tongue before caught my heart while his tiptoes from the house finds giggles red purple skirts fetchin’ faces lady sighs half moon fingers slide bag into water |

You are hitting me hard here. I see myself in both Charcoal Man and his Lady -- maybe we all do. Maybe it's like the two masks -- they make me smile. They make me laugh. And, they make me bawl my eyes out. aziza |

Yano, Kate....I very, very rarely buy poetry because you can find so much for free. But have to tell you, honestly.....I would spend money on this series. |

I believe, Kate, that you should publish these poems. I'd buy the book, treasure it and wear it out reading it. Please? I wonder if she got him, if she would want him. He wouldn't be the man she loves. A |
