Storm Ending
by Jean Toomer

Thunder blossoms gorgeously above our heads,
Great, hollow, bell-like flowers,
Rumbling in the wind,
Stretching clappers to strike our ears . . .
Full-lipped flowers
Bitten by the sun
Bleeding rain
Dripping rain like golden honey—
And the sweet earth flying from the thunder.

Thanks for posting this. I heard Amina play this program at Hampshire College back in the early '80s, with Marion in the audience. Peace to you, Marion!
