won’t you celebrate with me- Lucille Clifton

[Larry Robinson]

won’t you celebrate with me
 
won't you celebrate with me 
what i have shaped into 
a kind of life? i had no model. 
born in babylon
both nonwhite and woman 
what did i see to be except myself? 
i made it up 
here on this bridge between
starshine and clay,
my one hand holding tight 
my other hand; come celebrate 
with me that everyday 
something has tried to kill me 
and has failed.
 
	- Lucille Clifton
