MAKING IT

♠ Poetry by Gaiyaiobi Xzandis-Zaevan ♠ Art by Maro Kentros

i am making it
with the sounds
of trumpets & saxophones
&
sweet, tasty poems,
bluesy songs
while
dancers dance
calypso
jitterbug
butterfly
the percolator
etcetera etcetera etcetera
why
why do we do this
because
we know how to make
it
through centuries of strife
because of song
our ability
to move on.
