words. by Hudson Biko
we were always taught
to be careful of the matches.
always asked
not to stand
too close
to the flames.
always kept
so far
and so wary
of the fire.

were we meant
to be ready.
for worlds
destined
to burn

and sometimes

the world has a way.
of giving you. the things.
you are sure. you want.
to let you know. there is
always.
something else.

of gold. at the end
of rainbows.
of magic. in the
things we understand.
what happens
to that

to watch the snow fall. from
overcast skies.
to see the light. and feel
the light. pour.
from so much dark.
and believe
