GHANA GIRL

my Ghana girl
    born with the balance
of all
  under her sign

know she is cooking fish
plantains and cassava
in her kitchen

        would like to be
the menu in her kitchen

to do which, to be
which

I have to cross every
great divide      but    shout
whisper
      she no longer
      hears me

the airwaves no longer
party to any
    seduction of mine
