senses of heritage
by Ntozake Shange
my grandpa waz a doughboy from carolina
the other a garveyite from lakewood
i got talked to abt the race & achievement
bout color & propriety/
nobody spoke to me about the moon
daddy talked abt music & mama bout christians
my sisters/ we
always talked & talked
there waz never quiet
trees were status symbols
i’ve taken to fog/
the moon still surprisin me
Read, listen, share, create, and be on watch.
