June Jordan Quotes

Because It Was Raining Outside The Palace
Because There Was No Rain In Her Vicinity
Because People Kept Asking Her Questions
Because Nobody Ever Asked Her Anything
Because Marriage Robbed Her Of Her Mother
Because She Lost Her Daughters To The Same Tradition
Because Her Son Laughed When She Opened Her Mouth
Because He Never Delighted In Anything She Said
Because Romance Carried The Rose Inside A Fist
Because She Hungered For The Fragrance Of The Rose
Because The Jewels Of Her Life Did Not Belong To Her
Because The Glow Of Gold And Silk Disguised Her Soul
Because Nothing She Could Say Could Change The Melted Music Of Her Space
Because The Privilege Of Her Misery Was Something She Could Not Disgrace
Because No One Could Imagine Reasons For Her Grief
Because Her Grief Required No Magination
Because It Was Raining Outside The Alace
Because There Was No Rain In Her Vicinity.
