    our nerve filaments twitch with its presence
    day and night,
    nothing we say has not the husky phlegm of it in the saying,
    nothing we do has the quickness, the sureness,
    the deep intelligence living at peace would have.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    At first I said, “I will not bear
    His cross upon my back;
    He only seeks to place it there
    Because my skin is black.”
