african american poetry

i shall see a star tonight
up from the meadows rich with corn
look back with longing eyes and know that i will follow
behold me, in my chiffon, gauze and tinsel
my mother twines me roses wet with dew
wrap the earth in cloudy weather
among the smoke and fog of a december afternoon
i make my shroud, but no one knows
tripping up, falling down
sing again the song you sung
those on the top say they know you, earth-they are liars
