Lament for Kofifi Macu
Something the dead know
is the head held in broken hands;
the drooping mouth-hole,
a white speck of eye
leaking a tough sort of shame,
a burnt rubber which blackens blackness
and wires which swaddle the victim
like a Pharaoh.
Something the dead know:
Bones whiter than white
shall inherit the earth.
