I am a black woman

Nogen der evt. har læst digtet: I am a black woman?

Den er således:

I am a black woman
the music of my song
some sweet arpeggio of tears
is written in a minor key
and I
can be heard humming in the night
Can be heard
humming
in the night

I saw my mate leap screaming to the sea
and I/with these hands/cupped the lifebreath
from my issue in the canebrake
I lost Nat's swinging body in a rain of tears
and heard my son scream all the way from Anzio
for Peace he never knew....I
learned Da Nang and Pork Chop Hill
in anguish
Now my nostrils know the gas
and these trigger tire/d fingers
seek the softness in my warrior's beard

I am a black woman
tall as a cypress
strong
beyond all definition still
defying place
and time
and circumstance
assailed
impervious
indestructible
 

Look
on me and be
renewed

Jeg har svært ved at få den til at hænge sammen og hvad hun nogenlunde snakker om.

Det er en svær fortolkning. Men kan det passe at hun har været så meget igennem, men stadig er hun en stærk kvinde, som ikke vil lade sig bryde ned? Hun har mistet sin mand og søn, men stadig kæmper hun. Hmm :/

Hjælp?
