Brazen Strutting
Added 2023-05-20 18:54:35 +0000 UTCDesire naked, linked with Passion,
Goes trutting by in brazen fashion;
From playhouse, cabaret and inn
The rainbow lights of Broadway blaze
All gay without, all glad within;
As in a dream I stand and gaze
At Broadway, shining Broadway — only
My heart, my heart is lonely.
– from a poem by Claude McKay (1889–1948)
