FENNEL
give the hungry some seeds and theyll sleep full for another day who wants to wake to misery
im sister to sorrow cousin to parsley sometimes telling the truth is too painful i flatter an ugly woman you look good enough to eat what is a false compliment in comparison to a hurt feeling
mek dem slander me fi sow fennel is fi sow sorrow not true me tall wid a head full of hair but me beauty is de moles dem all ova me body
the anguish you feel cuts to the marrow I am profound
Berklee’s poetry Walk was laid in October 2003 along Edison Street between Shattuck and Milvia Streets. The route includes 128 metal plates with excerpts from songs, each of which is related in one way or another to the city of Berkeley.
The current plaque features a poem written by the Jamaican-born American poet, Opal Palmer Adisa (1954), who earned her doctorate from the University of Berkeley, and even taught there.
