There is everywhere here.
There is Alps and Lapland and Berlin.
Armagh, Carrick Fergus, Malvern
Rhine and Calabar, Askenish
where freed slaves went to claim
what was left of the Africa within,
staging secret woodland ceremonies.

Lorna Goodison

But there is blood, red blood in the fields
of our lives, blood the bright banner flowing
over the order of cane and our history.
