A Fairy Named DOEB…

DESIRE

Desire to us was like a double death, Swift dying

Of our mingled breath,

Evaporation of an unknown strange perfume

between us quickly in a naked room.

(1947) Langston Hughes

    Oh! Good choice 🙂
    Yeah, he is funny too. Writes mostly about the everyday struggles of young person trying to make it, especially a black man in a still very racially discriminated America.
    Have a good week.
