Across from Love Street

Two blocks from the Rhythm and Blues

Graffiti of poetry

Written for travelers like you

While the musicians penetrate their horns

By the barriers of raging fire

The cold crisp breeze

Blows melodies a little further

Across from Love Street

There lie many books

Authors of rich silky thoughts

Langston Hughes

to Gwendolyn Brooks

 

Across from Love Street

Two blocks from the Rhythm and Blues

Graffiti of poetry

Written for travelers like you
