Eye of a Needle 226 Mid-twentieth century They said I shouldn’t live You see, I’m a girl My sister was not so lucky, she died of preventable diarrhoea My sisters are many but the living not so numerous as the dead o I grow I laugh I learn to talk Oh how I learn to talk The school said there weren’t enough desks even for the boys so I stayed home two more years My mother told me stories we picked herbs and fruits in the forest we planted seeds and we sang with the birds o At school no one noticed us much until the day of the long black car They took us to a place of white floors
227 white people white ceilings I longed for red earth black people blue skies 1970s They cut the tongue They break the words in my mouth They make my body and my language homeless o The war comes I escape run the border cross over out of hell into abandonment I am nameless my tongue straining for meaning my language in exile o There is no one to love
