Black History Month

James Baldwin (1924-1987)

"It comes as a great shock around the age of five, or six, or seven, to discover that the country to which you have pledged allegiance along with everyone else has not pledged allegiance to you.”

– James Baldwin

Earth

Nature takes the atmosphere Then turns the lot around. I’d like to say he’s a moron But really he is a clown. Slowly he stands from his knees To take on the reserve. The witch takes the oracle And turns it into Earth. She follows with a deep sigh Because she knows the fate. Humans will ruin what they can of it Because they cannot wait. First they will find religion Then begin to fight over that.…

[text id: e. e. cummings, "[somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond]"

somewhere i have never travelled,gladly beyond

any experience, your eyes have their silence:

in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me, 

or which i cannot touch because they are too near

your slightest look easily will unclose me

though i have closed myself as fingers, 

you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens

(touching skilfully,mysteriously)her first rose

or if your wish be to close me,i and 

my life will shut very beautifully,suddenly,

as when the heart of this flower imagines

the snow carefully everywhere descending;

nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals 

the power of your intense fragility:whose texture

compels me with the colour of its countries,

rendering death and forever with each breathing

(i do not know what it is about you that closes

and opens;only something in me understands

the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)

nobody,not even the rain,has such small hands

Ni le feu ni la glace ne sauraient atteindre en intensité ce qu'enferme un homme dans les illusions de son coeur.
