we are the black loyalists:we think of the bleak fundamentalismof a ragged scarf of lighttwined and twisted and tornin a briar patch of pines.and then, of steel-wool water,scouring the dull rocks of bonnybonny nova scotia -.-the chaste, hard granitecoastline inviolate; the dark,dreary mountains where sad Glooscap broodsover waters void...we are the world-poor.we are the fatherless.we are the coloured Christiansof the african united baptist association.
