AT LAST WE KILLED THE ROACHES
BEING PROPERTY ONCE MYSELF
COME HOME FROM THE MOVIES
CRUELTY, DON'T TALK TO ME ABOUT CRUELTY
EACH MORNING I PULL MYSELF
FOR HER HIDING PLACE
GOD WAITS FOR THE WANDERING WORLD
I AM HIGH ON THE MAN CALLED CRAZY
I AM RUNNING INTO A NEW YEAR
I WAS BORN IN A HOTEL
I WAS BORN WITH TWELVE FINGERS
IF I STAND IN MY WINDOW
IF MAMA
IN POPULATED AIR
LATER I'LL SAY
LET THERE BE NEW FLOWERING
LOVE REJECTED
LUCY ONE-EYE
MY DADDY'S FINGERS MOVE AMONG THE COUPLERS
NOTHING ABOUT THE MOMENT
PITY THIS POOR ANIMAL
SOME DREAMS HANG IN THE AIR
THE BODIES BROKEN ON
THE LIGHT THAT CAME TO LUCILLE CLIFTON
THE ROUGH WEIGHT OF IT
THE SON OF MEDGAR / WILL SOON BE / OLDER THAN MEDGAR
THE THIRTY-EIGHTH YEAR
THE WAY IT WAS
THOSE BOYS THAT RAN TOGETHER
WON'T YOU CELEBRATE WITH ME
