    Summary

    How do we come to be here next to each other
    in the night
    Where are the stars that show us to our love
    inevitable
    Outside the leaves flame usual in darkness
    and the rain
    falls cool and blessed on the holy flesh
    the black men waiting on the corner for
    a womanly mirage
    I am amazed by peace
    It is this possibility of you
    asleep
    and breathing in the quiet air

    - June Jordan (Poem for My Love)
