I struck the board and cried.
Shall I ever forgive? Stop mourning
For the loved ones lost to the wrath of his fathers?
Whiplash stripes.  
Chain and Shackle scars.  
Maimed. Broken. Crushed.
Could I? Should I? Would I?
 
But ALAS! In that moment all was forgiven.
 
Straddled closely, his electric pulsing defibrillating my broken heart
Fingers as light as a feather brushing aside my silent tears
With velvet-like lips he caressed all the scars.
My Poseidon, summoning Floods
As though to Purge all the White Man’s sins
We lay in Our Ark, shielded from the tempest  
Steady, amid the violent waves crashing at our sides
Unafraid of my raging currents He swam right into my tides
And made love to me where Our two Oceans meet
The Cape of Storms, they said has a front so dark
With bleak naked cliffs and cheerless vales
And yet, my dear Pringle,  
This Bantu tingles, naked, on these very same cliffs, with cheerful wails!
Each crevice adorned. Each doubt reassured. And my hatred cured.
 My Enemy became My Lover became My Master
Like Hopkins,in all that toil, that coil... I, too, kissed the rod
And I, 'Of now done darkness, wretch lay wrestling [writhing] with (my God!) my god'
His satin locks stood in soft coils through which I could freely run my fingers
Entangled with my tight, dark, wiry curls
His cool tongue pinned me to this Second Circle of pure ecstasy
My lover, who was meant to civilise and convert me
Fucked me right into the Fiery Inferno of Hades
 
And I burned…
