A Song for Sweet Honey in the Rock - Poem

Sonia Sanchez

   see me through
   your own eyes
   i am here.

   don't look for me
   in poems
   i'm not there.

   don't look for me in
   shadowy faces
   i'm not there.

   see me through
   your own eyes
   i am here.

   once. when or with whom
   i disappeared went
   into hiding behind

   my own skull
   wasn't seen for a decade or two
   wasn't seen for a decade or two.

   now i am back
   carrying my life in a small bag
   now i am back
   holding open my hands
   holding open my hands.

   see me through
   your own smile
   i am here

   see me through
   your own smell
   i am here.

   see me through
   your own eyes
   i am here
   i am here....
