Reunion: August '89 - poem
African American Review, Winter, 1993 by Linwood M. Ross

I can feel it sometimes inside the harmonies of a dozen sister cousins aunts & womenfamily sittin in the august sun fannin themselves. Busy gossipin bout we "mens" & our "trampy" womenfriends & stuff. My ears are held hostage to hearin . . . "Lawd, boy, stop yo signifyin!" & the sweet intrusion of laughter sends their concert to the air .
