Old Friend
By Sandra Jean-Pierre
On the Sahara plain
we were tribesmen
sharing stories of the hunt
beneath crooked-sparse
shade trees
maybe …
we were women
in South America
tending the men,
nursing the children,
feeding our families
from the Earth
while sharing the sisterhood
of moon-cycles
infinitely capable of life–rebirth
maybe …
maybe
we were
evy-ivy over
I said east-west
I met my friend at the candy store
playmates
sharing Bazooka Joe bubble gum
and coca-cola
on mid-summer
Brooklyn sidewalk evenings
while smells of fried pork,
plantains, beans and rice
filled our lungs
in promise of an
easy cool New York
kind of peaceful
night in a
busy pulsing never sleeping
city
with the comfort
that our worlds were
separated
by thin apartment walls
maybe …
… maybe
We were fish
beneath the ocean deep
searching for ways
not to be parted
from our sisters
and brothers
only to eventually
sink to our final fish repose
at the bottom of the great
beyond
to be …
to be
re-made
in the image of
moon and sun …
bathing the Sahara plain …
It is good to see you again
old friend …
walk with me,
talk with me for a while …
love the recall of images in this one although now i am trying to remember some of those rhymes we chanted as children one that had something to do with soda pop…
