Poem of the Week - Prayer

Prayer

I ask you this:
Which way to go?
I ask you this:
Which sin to bear?
Which crown to put
Upon my hair?
I do not know,
Lord God,
I do not know.
– Langston Hughes, Selected Poems (2020), publ. Serpent’s Tail

Poem of the Week - Ah Vastness of Pines

This is a new series of posts I’m going to try to stick to, if only to let me rediscover and rethink some of my favourite poetry. Another bonus is that it’ll keep this blog updated and alive.
