Lucille Clifton (1936-2010) is one of my favorite poets. I imagine there will be several more poems of hers I’ll share here.

The conclusion of this poem feels prophetically appropriate in the aftermath of the devastating floodwaters that inundated the western portion of my home state of North Carolina this past week.
