Poem: WAITING FOR JASON I feel The sun But I look At the moon I watch The clouds dance Across the clear blue sky I sing a love song To the twinkling stars A mountain brook Babbles while ivy Holds tight The oak tree rocks New born owls To sleep And I sit With patches of cloth And snickles of cake And just a little bit Of cold red wine Waiting for Jason To come home

I was watching an interview Sway did with #NikkiGiovanni where she revealed her only tattoo was one on her arm saying "thug life" in honor of Tupac when he died. She said she wanted folks to know that the old ladies cared about his death too!

Thankful that I was able to capture a portrait of Nikki Giovanni when she spoke at Millsaps College a few years ago.

Take your rest, Ms. Giovanni. #NikkiGiovanni

I first heard #NikkiGiovanni speak when I was in college in Pa. She was a magnificent poet and to have lived and been inspired in her life time was a gift.
