my dreams, my works, must wait till after hell

by Gwendolyn Brooks

I hold my honey and I store my bread  In little jars and cabinets of my will.  I label clearly, and each latch and lid  I bid, Be firm till I return from hell.  I am very hungry. I am incomplete. And none can tell when I may dine again.  No man can give me any word but Wait,  The puny light. I keep eyes pointed in;  Hoping that, when the devil days of my hurt  Drag out to their last dregs and I resume  On such legs as are left me, in such heart  As I can manage, remember to go home, My taste will not have turned insensitive  To honey and bread old purity could love.

Books are meat and medicine and flame and flight and flower steel, stitch, cloud and clout, and drumbeats on the air.

[hauntedbythenarrative]

Even in winter it shall be green in my heart

When the green woods laugh with the voice of joy

And the dumpling stream runs laughing by

When the air does laugh with our merry wit

And the green hill laughs with the noise of it

As long as you're green, you're growing. As soon as you're ripe, you start to rot

A man who contemplates revenge keeps his wounds green
