Someone Leans Near by Toni Morrison "Someone leans near And sees the salt your eyes have shed. You wait, longing to hear Words of reason, love or play To lash or lull you toward the hollow day. Silence kneads your fear Of crumbled star-ash sifting down Clouding the rooms here, here. You shore up your heart to run. To stay. But no sign or design marks the narrow way. Then on your skin a breath caresses The salt your eyes have shed. And you remember a call clear, so clear “You will never die again.” Once more you know You will never die again."
