Ann Rich Poems

In the near future, I am going to add it all up into one big sum.
In the meantime, I am going to gather and collect my own space.
I will sift through seeds or weeds and present an enormous case.
But for sure I will hold onto every single yellow chrysanthemum.
...

Lord hangs onto me some serious mercy now,
I am aimed and directed aligned and straight.
Be it so or be it may I am that God given trait.
You will never once have to reveal for me how.
...

Shhhhhhh, I say to you!
Your breath I take away.
Your heart I make stray.
Your life I will make do.
