haiku

slave narrative

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
