Those who i hold most dear
are nvr dead
they become more than fixed
in song or stone or album
mixed with my sand and mortar
they walk in me with the world
Kamau Brathwaite, prolific poet and scholar, died February 4, 2020 at age 89.

My shy moonshadow would like to speak
with my sunshadow from far away
in the language of fools;
I in between, an illumined sphinx,
conferring silence, to the right and left
I’ve given birth to both.
Rainer Maria Rilke
(Tr. by Edward Snow)
