The Black Outside

Spirit: —I have heard the spirituals

Frederick heard: —In those dense old woods: —

    Moving: —Though not knowing it: —Toward you

    Without a mother’s hand covering his hand

    Without a beginning: —Those wild notes: —

    I have heard them, Spirit: —Reaching: —

    Through time toward me, out of a sister’s mouth

    From the pulpit on Sunday morning

    A voice stretching: —Almost violently: —

    Stretching again even: —Like a whine: —A half step more 

    Up to those sharp notes beyond: —Pain’s threshold: —

    I have seen the fugitive sweat bead slipping

    Down the singer’s forehead: —Freedom 

    In those wild songs first sung to a congregation 

    Of trees: —First audience, first applause: —

    That comforted a soul hiding 

    In those lonely woods: —Light dappled glory: —

    Nearly: —Thank you, Spirit: —I have heard them

    The spirituals in Douglass’ sentences

    Which he turned into a portal: —

    Which he entered in September

    Somewhere in Baltimore

    And stepped out of: —Days later: —

    Delivering us closer to Glory: —

    Between the trees: —Like a wild song: —He moved: —

    Over the water: —He walked: —He flew: —

                                                                              O Beloved Beloved Be

                                                                              Loved Closer

                                                                              To Glory: —O Glory: —
