Black Boy Joy

They are like dandelions 

Swaying in warm freedom

With fluffy heads and solid stems

Taking root in fertile soil made from love.

Their laughter are the notes to buried 

Ancestral songs, now resurrected 

Into gorgeous joy

Splintering like luminous light 

Breaking through the clouds.

Running because of exuberance 

Not because they're scared.

Jumping because they're capable

Not to avoid traps

Their eyes are brighter than a million suns

That have fused together

They dare to flourish and to exist

They dare to be happy, and to be black.

Their heaven, being the world that they've healed

Shine from each fingerprint left of their inner divinity.
