March 20, 2020 - Abena Beloved Green - Please
March 20
Going through my poetry books, I pulled out one from a poet I met in Kingston at the Writer's Retreat I went to last fall. She was amazing. Her poems read like magic, but she also performs them like magic. Her name is Abena Beloved Green. Her collection, her debut collection, is called The Way We Hold On.
Choosing one was challenging, but I went with one I really like, that is also short enough to write out here. It also fits well with the scariness of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Please
Please
do not bring me
your fears
bubble wrapped
as safety.
I am just learning
how to wrestle loose
from my own confines.
