Take THIS RIVER<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

We switch up a spinal column of Earth<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

That bridges the river and the canal.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

And the place a deceasing white log, finger-like,<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Floating off the monetary establishment, claws on the incline,<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

We stumble, and we chortle.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

We gradual beneath the Moon & # 8217 ; s oculus ;<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Near the radiance of the river & # 8217 ; s blood face,<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The canal & # 8217 ; s head overlaying of underbrush train matches frost,<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

And this historic watery cicatrix retains<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The motionless cryings of labor forces with troubled liquors.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

For like your entire Earth,<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

This land of mine is soaked & # 8230 ; .<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Shadows collectively,<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

We fall on the grass with out a phrase.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

We had run this faraway from the town.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

We had taken the bony class, bouldery and slim,<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

He taking, I following.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

And we chortle.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The goon of darkish is coming.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Up the river, down the river<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The sky and darkish buss between the air current.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201c You acknowledge, \u201d Ben says, \u201c that’s the place<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

I launched Evelyn & # 8230 ; .<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Broken shadows upon the canal<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Kind and fuzz, as foliages shudder as quickly as additional & # 8230 ; as quickly as additional<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201c State me this, Ben, \u201d I say.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

You acknowledge, do most Jamaicans<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Understand this state? \u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

We about chortle. Our perspiration is gone.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

He whispers \u201c Aiee \u201d on a protracted low breath<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

And we flip full circle to the river,<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Our dorsums to the unsighted canal.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201c Nevertheless I & # 8217 ; m non most Jamaicans & # 8230 ; .<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

I & # 8217 ; m merely Ben, and tomorrow I & # 8217 ; ll be gone,<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Aiee! My grownup female, how can I such as you? \u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Blurred pictures upon the river<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Flow into collectively and we’re at that place & # 8230 ; .<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201c What did she inquire you? \u201d I say.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Don & # 8217 ; t cognize all of it, mahn.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201c Look, see over at that place & # 8230 ; .<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

We walked down from there<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The place the park ends<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

And the canal Begins<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The place that ruddy shale stone<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Down the incline at that place. . . see?<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Sits itself up like a decide,<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

We foremost contact our custodies. . .<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

And up floats this log,<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Not throughout the river<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Nevertheless throughout the canal there<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

And it & # 8217 ; s slimy and former<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

And I kick it once more. . .<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

And mahn, she does excessively.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Then she asks me:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

When you depart would you<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Keep in mind me additional? & # 8217 ;<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

And he or she asks me:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

& # 8216 ; Bennie, when you contemplate Jamaica<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Can you visualize me at that place? & # 8217 ;<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

And whereas she & # 8217 ; s stating this,<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

She & # 8217 ; s making for the river<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Current like she & # 8217 ; s experiencing its pulsation.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

She asks me:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

& # 8216 ; Bennie, America means one factor to you?<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

In all probability our meeting, our love? has<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

One factor to make with America,<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Similar to the river? Do you cognize Bennie? & # 8217 ;<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Aiee, Aiee, mahn I inform you<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

She may do me get married. . .<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Aiee! Ewie, Jamaica. . . Moon!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

And the best way can I state one thing?<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

I inform her:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

& # 8216 ; Africa, someplace is Africa.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Make you understand, & # 8217 ; I say to her,<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

And he or she take a look at me with the Moon,<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

And I hear the<\/p>\n

air current and the foliages<\/p>\n

And we do non chortle. . .<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

We’re so near now no air current between us. . .<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

I say to her:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

& # 8216 ; Ewie, I do non cognize America<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Moreover presumably in my cryings & # 8230 ; .<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

In all probability as soon as I look out from Jamaica<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Usually, on the ocean H2O & # 8230 ; .<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

In all probability so I do know this state & # 8230 ; .<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Nevertheless I do know that we, we Ewie & # 8230 ; .<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

I do know that this river goes and goes.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

She takes me to the ocean,<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The female guardian of H2O<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

And so I am dwelling. & # 8217 ;<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

And he or she tells me she is conscious of<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

By the silence in her eyes.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

I attain our custodies as quickly as additional down<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

And bathe them at nighttime current<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

And I say: & # 8216 ; Take this river, Ewie & # 8230 ; . & # 8217 ;<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Aiee, air current spherical us, Aiee my God!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Merely the darkish is conscious of how we kiss. \u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

He stands up.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

A raincloud crusing upon a leak, birrs<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Inside the fleeting embracing of our reminiscences & # 8230 ; .<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201c Let & # 8217 ; s tally, \u201d I say, \u201c and warmth these castanetss. \u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Nevertheless he trots a spot, so stops,<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

his Jamaica sky.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201c Let & # 8217 ; s run the prolonged route West<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Down the river route, \u201d I say,<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201c And I & # 8217 ; ll state you of my grownup female & # 8230 ; .Aiee. \u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

We chortle, nevertheless we stop.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

And so, up the spiny ridge<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

We race by the use of the timber<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Like spirited fingers of frigid air.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

We switch in the direction of some blurred<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Mechanical seen radiation edged like an egret<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

And swallowed by the darkish.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Into this land of mine.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

And the air current is chilly, a goad<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Finger at our dorsums.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The nonetheless Earth. Except for us.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

And from behind that ebon cloak,<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The Moon observes & # 8230 ; .<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

And we do non particular pleasure<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

And we do non shout, And the place the land inclines,<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

We take the river & # 8230 ; .<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Nevertheless we do non falter,<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

We do non chortle,<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

We do non shout,<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

And we do non halt & # 8230 ; .<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
