MIDDLE PASSAGE CHILD...

CATEGORY

Africa! my beloved Africa…mother

continent of my ancestor’s ancestors…

how well I know of you; yearn for you; yet

I have not touched you in the flesh.

 

America!  my beloved America…father

continent of my parents and theirs…

how well I know you; live with and love you;

yet you treat me as if I’m a bastard child.

 

My navel has two halves; a beautiful black whole:

a paradoxical keloid.

 

African-American I am; a blooming ebony child

from the spread loins of two fertile continents;

a middle passage prodigal from juxtaposed bosoms

of strange bedfellows.
