Ive just come across this poem by writer Alice Walker, who I am interviewing tomorrow. The poem was written in 1991. Natural Star – For Michael Jackson © 1991 by Alice Walker I am in mourning For your face The one I used to love To see Leaping, glowing Upon the The stage The mike Eager… Thrusting In your Fist. I am in mourning For your face The shining eyes The happy teeth The look that said I am the world And aren’t you Glad Not to mention Deeply In luck. I am in mourning For The sweet brown innocence Of your skin Your perfect nose The shy smile That lit you Like a light. I am in mourning For a face The Universe In its goodness Makes but once Each Thousand Years and smiles And sends it out To spread great joy Itself well pleased. I am in mourning For your beloved face So thoroughly And undeservedly Released. Oh, my pretty little Brother. Genius. Child. Sing to us. Dance. Rest in peace.
