Adrienne Rich - For June, in the Year 2001 lyrics
[Adrienne Rich - For June, in the Year 2001 lyrics]
I’d clasp for you forever
Jetty vanishing into pearlwhite mist
Western sunstruck water-light
Touch food to the lips
Let taste never betray you
Cinnamon vanilla melting on apple tart
But what you really craved:
A potency of words
Driving back from Berkeley
880’s brute dystopia
I was at war with words
Later on C-Span: Tallahassee:
Words straight to the point:
One person, one vote
No justice, no peace
It could lift you by the hair
It could move you like a wind
It could take you by surprise
As sudden Canada geese took us by the marina
Poised necks and alert attitudes of pause
Almost home I wanted
You to smell the budding acacias
Tangled with eucalyptus
On the road to Santa Cruz
