My father borrowed
Pounds sterling
To buy me
A new tongue
At the age of ten
In Canada
One that could speak
In the same breath
The language of Descartes
And Strauss
With the accent
Sugard-milled and refined
Of a lady
Lips soft and pursed

We are both Tutsi
And Hutu
We know
The blood nature
Of blood
As Serb and Kosovan
Dinka and Arab
We know the price
Of a pound of flesh
The weight
Of a woman's body
Our blood has no bank
Behind a layer
Of porous skin

I've left home a hundred times
Forwards backwards ans sideways
For different reasons
In awkward seasons
Once in search of infinity
And a sea-map home
In the time of pomegranates

I like the style
Of these hybride hibiscus
Not lying bout a thing
Daring nothing
And no one
Just posing pretty pretty
Every single morning
As I walk by

Hurricanes feign neutrality
No pride of purpose
Or pattern of prejudice
They mask their longing
Months before exit
From a point
Of dead reckoning

Lines on lines / off the page / lines crossing lines / ghost lines where words / or skeletons of words / shadowboxed / to speak
I cover my ears
To block
The wavering cry
Of island boats
The plunder
The silencing of bleats

Why on earth in heaven's name
Would paradise need a fort ?
