NO IMAGES

Lyrics from the poem No Images by Waring Cuney

music by Ysaye M. Barnwell (c)1981

She does not know her beauty.

She thinks her brown body has no glory

But if she could dance naked ‘neath the palm tree

and see her reflection in the mirror then she would know.

But there are no trees on the street where she lives and

Dishwater gives back no images.

She does not know her beauty.

She thinks her brown body has no glory

But if she could dance naked ‘neath the palm tree

and see her reflection in the mirror then she would know.
