you are
in his cell
with him,
Wadiya,
you are
his soulguard
the guards
sense your warm
invisible presence
and look
for drafts
but the only draft
is in the winter
of their souls
Mumia breaks bread
with you
alone
at last
and when his cell door
opens
you will guide
his first free steps
towards us
after so long.
Julia Wright is a longtime supporter of Mumia Abu-Jamal and daughter of author Richard Wright.
