 The Suffering of White


By Jacob Kobina Ayiah Mensah


The knuckles of your fingers

          are heavy & appearing 
              like rocks

              dissolving

& swelling. 
Someone lifts 
your first finger 

& points that upwards 

I invent a space to cover your fear 
with courage

 you leave a white sheet
 around the roots of these rocks

 you wonder

 because you are actually seeing nothing.
