PALMETTO POEM: I Wish You Black Sons

after Lucille Clifton | For people who believe: # Black Lives Don’t Matter

By Glenis Redmond, special to Charleston Currents

I wish you the ability to bear only black fruit
I wish you only sons
I wish them black
spilled from your loins like black ink
I wish you code words like: inner city urban hip-hop
I wish you Baltimore, DC, Newark, Philly, Ferguson, Charleston, Charlotte
and Greenville and so on…
