Straightening my Race in a Lost Sentence                                                                                               By Jacob Kobina Ayiah Mensah



your sweat                   the highest bidder at auction

is their lodgings       for a week at a kind       of   this trekking               

where there is a stone staircase         & a roof to touch

i rename a woman      you  have just bought

your sisters wash her              clean-cut    from the crinkling crisp

your mother feeds her                            in the fatten room

they wash       the lust    from the           dust

& forge stones with                   steel
