MY FATHER, THE ASTRONAUT
If the moon was Europe, my father was an astronaut who died on his
way to the moon.
My father, the failed moonwalker, blinded by space.
My father, the
Black cosmonaut, frenzied
by thirst. My father who heard the voice of God, clear as the call to
prayer, suspended in that dark desert.
My father who wore a spacesuit slashed by longing, spinning towards
the vast desolate.
On a night when the angels have drawn back their wings, you may
glimpse my father
hurtling through space, his body carried by gravity’s absence, blood
collecting in his head,
his tears pink, gelatinous clots, unable to fall. (2022, Warsan Shire. From: Bless the Daughter Raised by a Voice in Her Head Publisher: Penguin Random house)
