This is my favourite Langston Hughes poem. He says so much in 4 lines, and the weight of the word 'perhaps' in the last line does not go unnoticed. Posting on the 1955th day since George Floyd was murdered. Little has changed, things are probably worse #poetry #poemoftheday #BlackHistoryMonth

“September approaching…I feel I owe myself a brief respite of leisure and no rushing around. I can’t face the dead reality. I want rainy days, lanterns and a hundred moons twining in dark leaves, music spilling out and echoing yet inside my head.” —Sylvia Plath #poetry #September #autumn
