A poem a day for 2013 - day 21 - How we home

We home like trees
Like fish and rocks 
We will be here
We home like church and grandmamas
Aunts and uncles 
We cousins
We soccer and grits
Baseball 
Chess
Karate
Cheese 
Eggs
We are tough love

We are the wrong things to say
We hold things in 
We let things out
We home like tears
We are fire
Faith
Fear
Struggle
We are journey

We home like drum
Chicken
Greens
Song
Quiche
We are all necessary

We are cheer
Change
Growth
We people
Laundry mats and sun dried sheets
We are long arms and reaching out
We scoot over and make room

We talk about each other 
And hug each others necks
We domino
We compete
We read
We news

We are loud
We are angry
We blue 
We yellow
We red

We are conversation
Social justice
Creative
We get the point across!
Ok?!

We are poets
Musicians
Artists
Teachers
Doctors
Locks
Braids
Bald
Preachers
Thinkers
We are entrepreneurs
We are unemployed
We all eat

Every day

We math we English 
We bake and sew we clean we build
We pray
We mess up
A lot
We learn
We love 
We rest
We wake up
We do it all again

Tomorrow
