1. “Darkness Song”
We wait in the darkness!
Come, all ye who listen,
Help in our night journey:
Now no sun is shining;
Now no star is glowing;
Come show us the pathway:
The night is not friendly;
She closes her eyelids;
The moon has forgot us,
We wait in the darkness!

4. “Panther”
________________________
Black
as night
lithe
as cat
silhouetted
against
the moon,
it stalks
eyes,
of jade,
teeth
as spikes,
talons
as blades
pouncing,
it strikes.
It rips the
fleet cheetah,
decapitates
its head.
2. “We Real Cool”
The Pool Players.
Seven at the Golden Shovel.
We real cool. We
Left school. We
Lurk late. We
Strike straight. We
Sing sin. We
Thin gin. We
Jazz June. We
Die soon.
-Gwendolyn Brooks

6. “I am Las Vegas”
I am Las Vegas growing by the infinite
awake morning by night,
or day.
I am Las Vegas
My hand is the sand.
-Rachel
