Poem of the month:

​

These Poems

June Jordan - 1936-2002

​​

These poems

they are things that I do

in the dark

reaching for you

whoever you are

and

are you ready?

These words

they are stones in the water

running away

These skeletal lines

they are desperate arms for my longing and love.

I am a stranger

learning to worship the strangers

around me

whoever you are

whoever I may become.
