Africa

This poem was written with each line of the poem starting with consecutive letters in the alphabet.

Alpha and Omega, I'm somewhere in between
Buried underneath greys
Come, catch me if you can
Dialated pupils and hazy starlight
Evolve into more colors
Far away from normal evolution
Gigantic leaps and even bigger tears
Hydrangias forgetting to bloom
I can't see past today
Just my blood flowing right now
Kenyan sunbeams from my heart to yours
Let them in, if you can
Magic show confetti falling from their eyes
Neglect the puddles and they go away
Omega back to Alpha, I'm somewhere far between
Pretending I'm closer than I think
Querying the leaves for answers
REmembering how they used to be great
Solemn eyes watching them fall
Twisting, turning, like me in the wind
Unforgiving and Uninviting
Violence bursting from under them
Wayward sidewalks spelling stories with cracks
Exhale, inhale, do it again
Yellow and blue promises sink with the sun
Zulu warriors marching back home.
