I love you but I don’t know you —Mennonite Woman

When I was seven, I walked home with Dereck DeLarge, my arm

slung over his skinny shoulders, after-school sun buffing our lunch boxes.

So easy, that gesture, so light— the kind of love that lands like a leaf.

It was 1963. We were two black boys

whose snaggle-toothed grins held a thousand giggles.

Remember? Remember wanting to play

every minute, as if that was why we were born?

Those hands that bring us shouting into this life

must open like a fanfare of big band horns.

Though this world is nothing

like where we’d been, we come anyway, astonished

as if to Mardi Gras in full swing. There must be a time

when a child’s heart builds a chocolate sunflower

while katydids burnish the day with their busy wings.

This itching fury that holds me now—this knowing

the early welcome that once lived inside me

was somehow sent away: how I talk myself back

into all the regular disguises but still walk these streets

believing in the weather of the unruined heart.

My friends, with crow’s feet edging their eyes,

keep looking for a kinder city, though they don’t

want to seem naïve. When was the last time

you wrapped your arm around someone’s shoulder

and walked him home?
