Awaking in New York by Maya Angelou (U.S.)

 

Curtains forcing their will   

against the wind,

children sleep,

exchanging dreams with   

seraphim.The city

drags itself awake on   

subway straps; and

I, an alarm, awake as a   

rumor of war,

lie stretching into dawn,   

unasked and unheeded.

 

——“Shaker, Why Don’t You Sing?” (1983)
