    Langston Hughes is my favorite poet ever but this poem in particular really stuck with me due to its power and intensity.
    If you think about the poem on a more symbolic level, it's actually about the experience of being the mixed-race child of a racist white parent. The white father rejects his child due to him being half black, and then uses the blackness of the child and the mother against them both. Both the father and the child's white half-brother reject him from whiteness, but he proudly accepts and embraces his blackness.
    The moon = white = the father. Dusk/dark/night/pine = black = the mother. Stars = yellow = the child. (I know nowadays we more associate yellow with Asian people but it was also historically used to refer to light-skinned mixed black people.)

    So painful. The time has come for each to say, "In you I see Imago Dei."
