A curation by Kelly Krugman, Curator and Cultural Worker at SAVVY Contemporary - may the tide /
that is entering even now /
the lip of our understanding /
carry you out /
beyond the face of fear /
may you kiss /
the wind then turn from it /
certain that it will /
love your back may you /
open your eyes to water /
water waving forever /
and may you in your innocence /
sail through this to that
— “blessing the boats” from Blessing the Boats: New and Selected Poems 1988-2000 (2000) by Lucille Clifton, African-American poet, writer, and educator
