“future haunts my mind
old squawks in rusting machines…”

An Imayo poem about moving on from the past and learning to embrace love's new hopes

“in my parched—late, wrinkly years

of a long, watery life—I dug a well…”

“shaming climate change

smears our dreams with yellow guile

like lemonade skies”

“I trace the outline of unfinished edges
protecting a universe—we thought we knew”

“So—will love exist in a quantum world of perfected reality—in cells of collective reasoning? And who will we be—as we cancel out all differences?”
