African American Review, Fall, 2002 by Lyrae Van Clief-Stefanon
Daphne. Lyrae van clief-stefanon Fear glistened In the sweat On my skin Until it dried And cracked And darkened My Father, Save me! Hovered In humid air Hung there until The brown bark Of prayer Encased me This is What passes For safety Now stillness Settles on me Like long vines And silence Entwines me Rooted Mute.
