Lurks in the lithe abandon of your walk
And something of the shackled slave
Sobs in the rhythm of your talk.

And did He stoop to quibble could tell why

Countee Cullen: Heritage
Africa? A book one thumbs
Listlessly, till slumber comes.
Unremembered are her bats
Circling through the night, her cats
Crouching in the river reeds
