Mr. Africa Poetry Lounge!
One Minus One Minus One
This is a first map of territory
I will have to explore as poems,
again and again
My mother murdering me
to have a life of her own
What would I say
(if I could speak about it?)
My father raising me
to be a life that he
owns
What can I say
(in this loneliness)
Written by June Jordan (1936 - 2002)
