Passages: The Earth is a Living Thing

THE EARTH IS A LIVING THING
Lucille Clifton 

 

is a black shampling bear

ruffling its wild back and tossing

mountains into the sea

 

is a black hawk 

the burying ground circling the bones

picked clean and discarded 

 

is a fish black blind in the belly of water

is a diamond blind in the black belly of coal 

 

is a black and living thing

is a favorite child

of the universe

feel her rolling her hand

in its kinky hair

feel her brushing it clean
