Take It In

Muhammed Jobe 1995 (Gambia)

Free verse
Take It In

Watching an old man smoke his cigar
Smiling staring at the lake
Watching planes land on Billys Port

Locked in a moment outside of time
I see his stillness
I feel mine

Gleaming glistening sun light flutters on these waters
Reflecting and Refracting
Reflecting and Refracting

Puckering his lips for that sweet puff
I follow suite

It’s peaceful out here
We can take a breath
In these open blue skies
