Bad Connection
Kamika Cooper
Inspiration Piece

Those things you thought you knew
just wouldn’t leave you alone
clouded your vision so thoroughly
you never found your way home

you were misdirected, you were forced to interpret
things you couldn’t connect

Fantasies that never came true
left three voids in your soul
fallen graces, empty times and spaces
each divisible by zero

you laughed out loud, you began to throw out
things that wouldn’t connect

Greedy hands came up to grab you
pulled you down to the cold
told you secrets of resentment and regret
then forgot all they’d shown

you fought with all your might, you rose to shine a light
on things you shouldn’t connect

Please don’t give up just yet

We Won’t Forget You
Kamika Cooper
Response

There is history in these walls
those who travelled through dense forest
and across vast ocean, leaving their mark
of the battles fought, won and lost
some laying down their weapons and armor
right there on the path never to be retrieved
we won’t forget you and all that you have done

There is peace inside these halls
if we are willing to brave the uncertain doorway,
beautiful rich images which appear to be hidden
from our view come alive when we
honor them and lend a little light of our own
peeling back each layer with loving eyes
we won’t forget you and all that you have become

There is freedom, mountains tall
inside what looks so complex from the outside
we step in and are rewarded with your memories
we look a little closer and see so much more
than intended, one image becomes four
constantly morphing into something new
we won’t ever forget you, for we and you are one
