How could you have known that one day
you’d be immortalized on a stamp
that proclaims you
forever poet
always remembered.
Bounced between homes
living in spaces
with people breaking
wings snapping
realities clashing
and disintegration of
insight surrounding.
Outwardly low physical vision
thick spectacles to assist
but sports will always be difficult
yet inwardly sharp global vision
emerging and blossoming
from the heart of poems.
Peeling back their layers
they are explorations and journeys
much more than African American
yet firmly giving voice to this voiceless.
You speak to me across forever
and I have much to learn of
this same art and faith
we both hold dear.

Nice job of analyzing the photo on the postcard – it truly does convey all that.
Thank you.
