Colonial History






Only men luxuriate
On bird-looped sands
Dreaming their beauty
And burning
Silently burning

 
COUP

 
Only women equilibrists
On a high-wire taut
Between cliffs
Dreaming their summits
And turning
Silently turning

 
COUP

 
A woman dove
Backwards
Vaulting space
A man feinted endlessly
Forward:
Soft-clawed descent into
Bright clash of feathers
Till the dove forgets
To prey upon
The hawk:

 
 REVOLUTION
