'Listen! / Dear dream of utter aliveness- / Touching my body of utter death- / Tell me, O quickly! dream of aliveness, / The flaming source of your bright breath. / Tell me, O dream of utter aliveness- / Knowing so well the wind and the sun- / Where is this light / Your eyes see forever? / And what is the wind / You touch when you run?' -Langston Hughes, Demand
