moment of capture
long walk to strange fort on coast
unknown the purpose
the middle passage
ignored by happy sea-beasts
not by hungry sharks
plantation practice
to survive the killing work
and speaking monsters
the slave resisting
reclaiming a lost honour
now is a hero
emancipation
not a gift but a promise
no easy freedom
