We Had Him (2009)
Kontekst: Though we are many, each of us is achingly alone, piercingly alone.
Only when we confess our confusion can we remember that he was a gift to us and we did have him.
He came to us from the creator, trailing creativity in abundance.
Despite the anguish, his life was sheathed in mother love, family love, and survived and did more than that.
He thrived with passion and compassion, humor and style. We had him whether we know who he was or did not know, he was ours and we were his.

Singin' and Swingin' and Gettin' Merry Like Christmas (1976), chapter 5.
Kontekst: A bizarre sensation pervades a relationship of pretense. No truth seems true. A simple morning's greeting and response appear loaded with innuendo and fraught with implications.... Each nicety becomes more sterile and each withdrawal more permanent.
“I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.”

And Still I Rise (1978)
