Michael S. Harper Quote

The birds flit
in the blue palms,
the cane workers wait,
the man hangs
twenty feet above;
he must come down.


Village Blues (1970)


The birds flit in the blue palms, the cane workers wait, the man hangs twenty feet above; he must come down.

The birds flit in the blue palms, the cane workers wait, the man hangs twenty feet above; he must come down.

The birds flit in the blue palms, the cane workers wait, the man hangs twenty feet above; he must come down.

The birds flit in the blue palms, the cane workers wait, the man hangs twenty feet above; he must come down.
