“O, let my land be a land where Liberty
Is crowned with no false patriotic wreath,
But opportunity is real, and life is free,
Equality is in the air we breathe.
(There’s never been equality for me,
Nor freedom in this ‘homeland of the free’.)”
—Langston Hughes from “Let America Be America Again” (via theclassicsreader)

a-pair-of-ragged-claws:

Then seemingly all at once there was a past,
of which you were more than incidentally composed.

Opaque, dense, delectable as oil paint,
fauceted from a source it itself generated in you,

you were magnified by it, but it could intrude,
and weigh, like an unfathomable obligation.

C. K. Williams, from “Of Childhood the Dark,” in The Singing (Bloodaxe, 2003)
