April is Poetry Month!



Happy Poetry Month!
“Amen” by James Baldwin

No, I don’t feel death coming.
I feel death going:
having thrown up his hands,
for the moment.
I feel like I know him
better than I did.
Those arms held me,
for a while,
and, when we meet again,
there will be that secret knowledge
between us.

via Jimmy’s Blues and Other Poems by James Baldwin, published by Beacon Press


Happy reading to all! ☮
