@jagatuba
across the sand i saw a black man stride
to fetch his fishing gear and broken things,
and silently that splendid body cried
its proud descent from ancient chiefs and kings
across the sand i saw him naked stride;
sang his black body in the suns white light
the velvet coolness of dark forests wide,
the blackness of the jungle's starless night.
he stood behind the old canoes which lay
upon the beach swept; swept up within his arms
the broken nets and careless louged away
towards his hut beneath the ragged palms..
nor knew how fiercely spoke his body then
of fabled weal
