The taste undid my eyesAnd led me far from the gardens planted for a childTo wildernesses deeper than any master’s call.2Now these cool hands guide what they once caressed;Lips forget what they have kissed.My eyes now pool their lightBetter the summit to see.3I would do it all over again:Be the harbor and set the sail,Loose the breeze and harness the gale,Cherish the harvest of what I have been.Better the summit to scale.Better the summit to be.From Five Poems (Rainmaker Editions, 2002) by Toni Morrison with silhouettes by Kara Walker.
