ABANDON by Dex R. Jones
I waited here for you until I questioned my own presence.
Virtue chips away from patience
like paint from walls
I have become a ghost that haunts this place.
But I have made this story my home
Nary a record ever skip.
Nor a song absent from my heart.
I still smile.
I still know joy.
I find myself tickled by the thought of you.
Laughing when nothing is funny.
Only now, I find solace in dancing on my own
with reckless abandon.

MORNING STRETCH
“Rise. Shine. Reach outside yourself. Wake and discover the dreams you are capable of when you aren’t sleeping. May they keep you up at night. Marvel at how big they are and witness what they can become. Grow with your ambitions. Flex on those who doubt. Nourish no bad seeds. No black can'ts. No black don'ts. No black maybes. You will. Stretch so that the tension is too great-Become greater. You do not have to dance to choreograph your next step to freedom. Just make sure you get your sun. Black boy. Black girl. Your cage is too small to hold you forever. Show them. Show yourself.”

CALLIGRAPHY
We are a fine handwriting.
Elegant in stride.
Distinguished in triumph.
Telling a deathly story.
A messy truth.
Still our valor is written in permanence.
Black ink.
A beautiful stain.

cosmic dancer
She is a cosmic dancer in a blissful abyss.
She is stellar.
A skintight cosmos.
A spontaneous creation
whose magic is still unknown.

When you realize you are just
going through the motions
Stop. Strip down
The way God made you
Be still So that even your hair
is enlightened by existential philosophy.

WHERE HAS THE NIGHT GONE? by Dexter R. Jones
Mystery misunderstood.
She was chased away by the harsh realities of the day.
No one fervently peeked around the corners of the sky awaiting her return.
But she returned.
Too often She heard the hopes and declarations of good Mornings.
But never enough did any ever wish of her a good Night.
Still She remained a Good Knight
To an impossible Black sky.
