The Mulatto to His Critics

Ashamed of my race? And of what race am I? I am many in one. Thru my veins there flows the blood Of Red Man, Black Man, Briton, Celt and Scot, In warring clash and tumultuous riot. I welcome all. But love the blood of the kindly race That swarthes my skin, crinkles my hair. And puts sweet music into my soul.

the place drawn out of a quiet heavy nothing like a letter from me to myself each thinking the other a fool every city is all the cities in the world their neighbors in the country pay in blood and little supper

Warmongers: six haiku

a half-moon over the maps of several poor countries that sullen bastard will go at midnight take the child and dance it in his arms guarded by his horse the soldier is a flying army in his head going to be married so the rape is hushed up mouths receive the sacrament whose bread would pay for a war blood on the back stairs not capable of bearing children
