Ode to Okra

I like okry cause
it slips, said my old cousin
famously, & I agree��
all the more filled with awe at all

you can do. Wayward
uncle, you grew up like a weed
yet were so much my age I called
you brother��like an eye
or early autumn you stay

red around the edges
& still green
at the same time. Tender
yet prickly, you gave gifts
whenever we needed them most��

visited each summer & lingered
much too long, mooching
your way through.
Though some nights I hated you
to us, & yourself, you were true��

stayed stewed,
never fried��the neighborhood
drunk, turned belligerent
& too tough
if ignored. Still

you weep when stirred,
make a gumbo worth
fasting for. Seventh son,
pilgrim, you once were a slave
I heard, a language

smuggled here in our hair
to teach us home
& what freedom
wasn't. In dusk
I've seen my father

cut you down��you, who
we prayed over each night
making sure, small
steady star, just for you
we saved plenty room.
