Timing is everything.
A Poem For Reggie
by Charles L. Peters
His voice, a cello
deep / rich with message
his bars
a symphony conducted by love
of God, of family
of League
Your bond was blood
sacred
you bleed the tears of a brother
a pain the rubberneckers will never know
i mourn WITH you
not FOR you
i know what it means to be
group
duo
co-
half
i didn’t come to romanticize
or sugarcoat
this hurts
and there’s no way to get around it
For every blues there is a season
a seed and rain
a reason to grow
i look forward to seeing
your new wings
soaring through new skies
in search of new sounds
chords and rhymes
this is a new life you wear
a coat, warm
worn in his memory
for time is cold
his was now
ours is coming
love and laugh like this is your last
This is your story
and there’s no way to get around it
read it
over beats
let the speakers tell
of the blessed chapter
Dred Skott is
Austin burns tonight
i can smell the love in Georgia
