The Night Seeker - Poem By Laila Ali Haid:
The Night has broken its cloth,
The Day has a brew for me,
The earth in its axis dance,
The Night has a song for me.
In these lights I said the
Utter and heard chants
From a while distance
A cramp evaporated
to the Moon’s time standard
It is the night
I have the hold that
We did lose the parent
Repentant in quiet lands, yonder
Conscious in Africa and thought.
Billows in codes with the
Lion of Judah
Creak the sky til’ noon
The undertow of smiles
Shadow of an upset sea.
I am the night and I am good in time
For love in the end,
And I submit a lifetime
Of dread.
