Congratulations Google




well, well, look who we have here
anthropologist, writer, dancer, lover
zora neale who stand to any man kind
of pain hurston would continue she
had faith in lots of things the
vodou rites in haiti, dealing up to
langston hughes, the black poet of the age
writing novels there was nothing
zora neale could not do, she work as
a healing force on countless sinews
flex that muscle zora neale hurston
spring it tight, brighten what you
must do, zora neale me and you
she died as a maid in a florida hotel
zora neale me and then you

dear woman researcher
i managed not to know there was wisdom
in those sociological discoveries you made
being it I was at work, i work all day
zora neale on a ship to moscow with
langston and other artists that day
when revolution breathed of poetry the
cadence of movement that day layered
fingers weave pastel clay there is no
movement zora neale the ways i dreamed about you
alice walker came and got your grave
is it true these things that i do to you
cut open my veins
heighten pain zora neale
me and then you
zora neal hurston me
and you  

 Zora Neale Hurston, January 7, 1891 – January 28, 1960
