ANANSI WITH THE LAUGHING FACE
Anansi With The Laughing Face a blood-bourn jazz blaring this nuisance of neon ruining the sheen of mr. clean’s marble — we are mosquitos in the ears of Monstrous Zeus fearing our bite when we’ve only come to buzz: self-paregoric we’ve learned to praise the pathogen leviathans in leisure with canopic jargon your diaphanous icons & dim dandies (cirrocumulus in nature) telling us where to apply the baby powder in assumptions of service / black people with brushes of rouge at the sole discretion of high cheek bones with a low brow the hymn locked: “shoo, polish!” is the black poet’s eternal stanza this million mosquito arch, this swarm song of sand & asphalt as feral as we are floral said to be inconsequential with our serial slang the “artless” with a gargoyle’s yodel nacreous words that gargle the candescence of sun sculpting fractals of god from geometries of sorrow / see it says so right here: written in central african sanskrit on the back of some kentucky slaver’s bill of sale - it’s just you have to hold it to the sky in full light against the sun where all will see.

UNTITLED
block print illustration of a pomegranate; red ink on cream paper. Untitled Lord, when you send the rain, think about it please, a little? Do not get carried away by the sound of falling water, the marvelous light on the falling water. I am beneath that water. It falls with great force and the light Blinds me to the light.

Mohamed Ali Aboubaker Naser has a legal work visa and zero criminal history. He was arrested and transferred out of state by federal agents. ICE agents terrorized his family, including young children. They questioned him about his views on Iran even though he was born in Libya.
