Mississipi By Aimé Césaire (translated from the French by A. James Arnold and Clayton Eshleman) Too bad for you men who don’t notice that my eyes remember slings and black flags which murder with each blink of my Mississipi lashes Too bad for you men who do not see who do not see anything not even the gorgeous railway signals formed under my eyelids by the black and red discs of the coral snake that my munificence coils in my Mississipi tears Too bad for you men who do not see that in the depth of the reticule where chance has deposited our Mississipi eyes there waits a buffalo sunk to the very hilt of the swamp’s eyes Too bad for you men who do not see that you cannot stop me from building to his fill egg-headed islands of flagrant sky under the calm ferocity of the immense geranium of our sun.
