Amiri Baraka - Poet, Playwright, Activist dies at 79. Rest-

I need to go back 15 mins, when all I was thinking about was traffic and what to fix for dinner.
Would rather face reality when I'm in the privacy of my home where my tears can flow without the need to explain and justify. 
Would rather pretend that I don't feel a shift in the Earth's energy. 
... In time I will remind myself that instead of him being somewhere - he is now everywhere.

Rest Rest Rest Mr. Baraka ... Your legacy is solid. Your legacy is safe.
