in the Land of Zanzibar
are the Black souls
with bruises and scars
chopped heads
and
castrated bodies
buried beneath
the planted magnolia trees
are the severed heads and
bodies of African slaves
who dared to look
at the Arab Women
are the
planted magnolia seeds
for we weep
what we sow
in the
Land of Zanzibar
that
we still know
