Evie Shockley


"ode to my blackness" by evie shockley



you are my shelter from the storm
and the storm
my anchor
and the troubled sea
nights casts you warm and glittering
upon my shoulders some would
say you give off no heat some folks
can’t see beyond the closest star
you are the tunnel john henry died
to carve
i see the light
at the end of you the beginning
i dig down deep and there you are at the root of my blues
you’re all thick and dark, enveloping the root of my blues
seem like it’s so hard to let you go when i got nothing to lose
without you, I would be just
a self of my former shadow
