But change the bloody gauze.”

And small communion with the master shore.

Consult a dual dilemma. Whether to dry
In humming pallor or to leap and die.”

it cannot always be night."”

Speech to the Young : Speech to the Progress-Toward

“He is not there but
You know you are tasting together
The winter, or a light spring weather.
His hand to take your hand is
overmuch.
Too much too bear.”

"To Be In Love"

“The good man.
He is still enhancer, renouncer.
In the time of detachment,
in the time of the vivid heather and affectionate evil,
in the time of oral
grave grave legalities of hate - all real
walks our prime registered reproach and seal.
Our successful moral.
The good man.”

The genuine thing.
I am not deceived, I do not think it is still summer
Because sun stays and birds continue to sing.”

A Sunset of the City

“Is earnest enough, may earnest attract or lead to light;
Is light enough, if hands in clumsy frenzy, flimsy whimsically, enlist;
Is light enough when this bewilderment crying against the dark shuts down the shades?
Dilute confusion. Find and explode our mist.”

"An Interview with Gwendolyn Brooks", Contemporary Literature 11:1 (Winter 1970)

“Abortions will not let you forget.
You remember the children you got that you did not get,
The damp small pulps with a little or with no hair,
The singers and workers that never handled the air.
You will never neglect or beat
Them, or silence or buy with a sweet.
You will never wind up the sucking-thumb
Or scuttle off ghosts that come.”

And sing a song of gray.”

"The Crazy Woman"

“Coherent
Counsel! Good man.
Require of us our terribly excluded blue.
Constrain, repair a ripped, revolted land.
Put hand in hand land over.
Reprove
the abler droughts and manias of the day
and a felicity entreat.
Love.
Complete
your pledges, reinforce your aides, renew
stance, testament.”

Nary a curse cursed he,
But moved in his House. With his dark little wife,
And his dark little children three.”
