    A poem called Legacy by Alfonso Siverls

    Poetry

    My Last Walkabout


    I am the living history
    of my story, past
    and present, episodes
    of joy, pain, love and
    second chances
    not the designer of the stage
    yet still the architect of
    an anecdote, I am the chauffeur
    of my inner wheel, and
    I will write my final chapter, but
    not my ending 

     

    On the death of Toni Morrison


    I felt a thunder inside and outside
    of my soul, as the earth shifted
    without moving, signifying
    the passing, of the one
    who wrote the words that beloved me



    Kwanzaa

     

    it is the light
    of candles
    that shines brightly
    after a long journey
    of darkness,
    that empowers my soul
    and proclaims my place
    in the culture of humanity

    it is the sounds that vibrate
    across the earth with an echo
    that whisper and sings my song

    it is the smell of nameless souls
    long gone, that was cast out
    of the family of man, whose scent
    dwells beneath my skin

    it is the taste of
    the pain of yesterday, with
    the flavor of hope for tomorrow
    proclaiming here I stand

    it is the touching of my heart
    with your heart
    in joyful celebration
    of the sacrifice of our ancestors

    The Tempest


    I see an awakening on the horizon
    Elements coming together
    Erupting into compounds
    Brought about by benign neglect
    Rooted in history
    Forged by the greed of others
    And composed without Ariel
    And the spirit world

    It is slowly spreading across the globe
    Heating the third world
    Forcing itself on the first world
    And disrupting the new world

    You can see it in the eyes of the children
    You can hear it in the voices of the youth

    Moving slowly but steady
    The Tempest is upon us

    Interview

     After many years working with a community-based agency as both a therapist and administrator. All along with working in academia as educator, I am now on the backside of life. My focus today is now on the creative arena with poetry, podcast, film and community tv.
