sometimes a blind man
can feel the petals
of a black woman’s complexion
absorb the scent of her body
when the breeze follows the rhythm
as she walks on a crowded street noon
sometimes a silky white blouse
adorns with laces the fullness of her breast
in the rush hour of a train
sometimes she stands majestic
oblivious to the daily headlines
sometimes she is nature being there for all time
sometimes she is tired she wants to take her children
& just ride on & on into infinity
sometimes a blind man standing by a corner
sees that within the darkness of his eyes
