Classic and Contemporary Poetry
FABLE, by RUBY FRANCE ALDRIDGE
First Line: I heard you singing
Last Line: Was in my face, like a great amen.
First Line: I heard you singing
Last Line: Was in my face, like a great amen.
I heard you singing,
And cool, cool hands
Pressed down my fevered thoughts.
I heard you weeping,
And pain, like a slim
Stiletto, ate into my heart.
I heard you praying,
And the breath of God
Was in my face, like a great Amen.
