8 quotes

He loved the humble, set tenderness free Devoured the past

When our joy tells the beads of present freedoms

Who will tell the sun about my landmy harried medlar treemy springtime without nervures my helpful hand

His face—mirror of cruelties—where a chorus of cries
Fuses our hope, sharpens our freedom

Who will recount my rootless garden and my door opento all comers

Here where each day calls out to our suffering
Here where each step chains our desire for hope

Who will cure meof my sequestrationand sweet secret
—my monochrome dream

So that the roots of his impatient people
Would grow knotty in the shadow of the flag
