Poem for My Love

by June Jordan

‘Poem for My Love’ reflects on love’s elusive nature and the subsequent wonder and gratitude it inspires in those lucky enough to find it.

One of the more compelling images in Jordan's poem comes in the lines, "Outside the leaves flame usual in the darkness / and the rain." The grouping of leaves seems to parallel the "black men waiting" in that same rain, while the mysterious flame evokes their persistent hope that love will one day manifest in their lives.

How do we come to be here next to each other

in the night

Where are the stars that show us to our love
