For Amari
the ancestors yet again
≥≥≥≥≥≥≥ ullulations ≤≤≤≤≤≤≤
prove themselves
in death, as in life
≥≥≥≥≥≥≥ ullulations ≤≤≤≤≤≤≤
they bear our deepest desires
as own
they know where and how
we hurt
unbound by flesh,
unnecessary organs
they stuff miracles
—abhor
where their spleens had been
they fill appendixes with soil
water as supplement
winds as commanded
all for the benefit
of their children’s
growththrough the wrench of
— love
so we remain
palms open
with their names as chants,
≥≥≥≥≥≥≥ ullulations ≤≤≤≤≤≤≤
action potential
in the eldest of our tongues
jolts to their martrydom
a keepsake of mortality
resound holy hymnals
we pray for their passage
through the ether
meanwhile
they sense their way to us
—by our acclaims
≥≥≥≥≥≥≥ ullulations ≤≤≤≤≤≤≤
we know who heeds for us
an essence familiar
let us melt then
—in cohesion
arrange this one a fresh destiny.
