Day 75: Kiese

i love the way you interview

asking questions from a place of family, familiarity

spiritual connectedness

you remind me to slow down and listen, observe

bear witness

so as not to miss the beauty and power of

things often taken for granted like

memories evoked with the mention of fried cabbage

you are unapologetic Blackness, intellectual brilliance and

fo’ real coolness

you are an around-the-way brother, brother

forever down in my book
