Text
Shelter
by Toni Morrison
In this soft place
Under your wings
I will find shelter
From ordinary things.
Here are the mountains
I want to scale
Amazon rivers
I’m dying to sail.
Here the eyes of the forest
I can hold in a stare
And smile the movement
Of Medusa’s green hair.
In this soft place
Under your wings
I will find shelter
From ordinary things.
