pretend this is yesterday...
so the previous post was probably one of lucille clifton's most well-known poems. this one i discovered later, and would probably like just as much if i didn't relate so much to the hips one (having magic hips, myself)
i like this one because it combines nature and city and makes both seem beautiful, and makes worship embodied.
God send Easter
and we will lace the
jungle on
and step out
brilliant as birds
against the concrete country
feathers waving as we
dance toward jesus
sun reflecting mango
and apple as we
glory in our skin.
--Lucille Clifton
