lyrics

I drop my machete
I kneel in the mud
I listen to the wind
Shake the cane and move on
I tongue my broken tooth
I rub my malformed hand
A swift sails from the mountain
Toward the docks and across the bay
It flees these Antilles
Across the water to Venezuela
Along the coastline to Bahia
Across the water to the Cape Verdes
Up the river along the Casamance

***

The dim of the new moon
The scent of the whale oil
The pair of lanterns in my good hand
The shattering glass
The smoke in the rollers
The flying flames on the sails

A spotted piglet behind me
The burning curing house
The falling walls of the distillery
Our fleet footsteps
The crying livestock
The fading field in the distance

***

I set the snare
I lay down the manioc
A squeal in the shade of the kapoks
Black spots on the hog
I stroke my white beard
I’ll sleep hungry tonight
