wednesday's poems

here yet be dragons by lucille clifton

so many languages have fallen
off of the edge of the world
into the dragon's mouth.  some

where there be monsters whose teeth
are sharp and sparkle with lost

people.  lost poems.  who
among us can imagine ourselves
unimagined?  who

among us can speak with so fragile
tongue and remain proud?
