Fire's Voice

THE 1970 BLACK POWER REVOLUTION IN TRINIDAD & TOBAGO SPAWNED MOST OF THESE POEMS. AFRICANS AND INDIANS UNITE. YOUNG AFRICAN MEN MURDER EACH OTHER. SOCIETY LOOKS ON. THE SYSTEM CUTS DEEP. EVERYBODY KNOWS. SUCHNESS. THE WORK SPEAKS FOR ITSELF. Creating spaces. HAVE PATIENCE. AM JUST A POET. ADDING YEARS. THE WORK SPEAKS. “LISTEN MORE OFTEN TO THINGS THAN TO BEINGS.” TO ITSELF. TOYS. More space.
