Poetry S tre e t R oots • March 4-10, 2016 Page 13 Times Here by Michone Nettles Inside the warmth of our mother’s womb so secure and comfortable knowing the unknown Is soon to come alive with a new world that reflects the old. The halo above your head shines bright With glory and love being one with the lord Have mercy on our souls that deserve Jump with joy knowing that our resting place is a lounge chair that leans back into the past, present, and future love is in the air with each breath we inhale and exhale prayers are sent to the most high and response is on coming and going. Final Winter Evening by Kareem Ali Through the shards of this winter evening flakes of leaves brush against your cheek causing a thick elixir of comfort to empty out into the halls Outside the pigeons are submerged in a trellis of winter moonlight causing a lotion of light to open up the room to the stale husk of the day By Harry Richards Are you a Veteran THE MAGIC IS IN THE HOLE! 22 SW 3RD & BURNSIDE experiencing or at risk of becom ing hom eless?
