Hurricane Song Poem by Kevin Young

Hurricane Song

Rating: 5.0


Lady, won't you wait
out the hurricane

all night at my place —
we'll take cover like

the lamps & I'll
let you oil

my scalp. Please, I needs
a good woman's hands

caught in my hair, turning
my knots to butter.

All night we'll churn.
Dawn

will lean in too soon —
you'll leave out into

the wet world, winded
& alone, knowing

the me only
midnight sees.
