Here’s yesterday’s poem for my entry in the Song Title Challenge, this time I did Nina Simone. What can I say? It’s Nina Simone? Legend!

-: epitaphs for Nina Simone :-


I.

come ye
keeper of the flame
take me to the water,

i'm going back home—

i hold no grudge


II.

wild is the wind,

that's all i ask—

what more
can i say?


III.

summertime,
rags and old iron—

one september day
in the evening
by the moonlight


IV.

night song,
i am blessed—

tell me more and more
and then some,

tomorrow
is my turn


V.

end of the line,
chilly winds don't blow—
images
don't explain
