african american poetry

be patient, life, when love is at the gate
so fallen
happiness
how like the stars are these white, nameless faces
still thirteen years
to be able to see every side of every question
i am old and blind
i bid them all farewell
lived by the river-side
the dawn was apple-green
those black eyes i once so praised
perhaps it is no matter that you died
over the river, on the hill
