This poem is water
It is palm wine to the ancestors
Ones with heads up, lips parted

It is nommo
Words into flesh

Good times? Well, they are on “pause” presently. And then there is Michael Lange, our Malcolm X. Michael made his transition May 20. Michael’s Memorial Celebration is Saturday, May 30, 12 noon, at St. Columba Catholic Church.
