She’s blacker
than the night which holds
us in our communion
against the white picket fences.
There’s clash in her eyes,
and she smiles whitely
to the tambourines.
There’s a folk song audience
of rebels who lover
her mother into children,
and then the children,
and they’re all in the roads
searching for the art
which makes singing
a blessing of hatred.
