    The Last Quatrain Of The Ballad Of Emmett Till

    (after the murder,


    after the burial)

    Emmett's mother is a pretty-faced thing;


    the tint of pulled taffy.
    She sits in a red room,
    drinking black coffee.
    She kisses her killed boy.
    And she is sorry.
    Chaos in windy grays
    through a red prairie.
