Langston Hughes

By Marisa Moran

How do you get your words

To sing jazz

And taste like chocolate?

How do you get them

To breathe fire like a dragon

And yet fill the room

With a honey-scented voice

That paints ripples of light and dark

Across the walls?

How is it

That you can coax them

To fall in love

And persuade them

To dance together

Across the page

Eternally?
