african american poetry

i went up and down the streets
the body may confine
days endeared to every muse
when sea-winds pierced our solitudes
gaily through the fields we danced
give me hunger
to come so soon to this imagined dark
do not turn your head
one sweetly solemn thought
she heard the children playing in the sun
when i returned at sunset
