I had fun reading poems earlier tonight at http://nightpoetry.com 

Here’s what I read (a thread)
Faiz Ahmed Faiz:
“Solitary Confinement”
“It is as though nothing exists anymore”
“If my suffering found a voice”
Meena Alexander:
“Indian Ocean Blues”
Terrance Hayes
from American Sonnets for My Past and Future Assassin:
“Are you not the color...” (p10)
“Seven of the ten things I love...” (16)
“Maxine Waters, being of fire, being of sword” (23)
@eveewing :
“Affirmation”
“I saw Emmett Till this week at the Grocery Store”
Then I turned DJ and played 2 pieces from our album “Holding it Down: The Veterans’ Dreams Project”:
Maurice DeCaul, “Derelict Poetry”
Lynn Hill, “Capacity”
And lastly, from our album “In What Language”:
Mike Ladd, “Plastic Bag”
Meant to tag my brother @likemadd there
