Standing On The Place Where Langston's Ashes Reside
In humble apropros
Standing within the circle
That holds in loving care
All that lies between-
All the tellings
All the signifyings
All the ironies
All the justifyings.
In silent repose,
A boundless legacy.
Threads in the fabric
Of all that cloaks us -
A variable perfume
A mutable augur.
looking for my old friend Sojourner...Where are you sis? ? ?
