KNIFE OF NIGHT
The knife of night Spreads swirls of black and white Over the slice of here.
The taste is bold: A pinch of cold, Spiced with primeval fear.
British by birth, Jamaican by registration, Canadian by naturalisation, Australian by descent.
Formerly Danish, too, but I lost citizenship in becoming Canadian.
But no permanent status in the country I was raised in (the Bahamas), or in the country I've been living in since 1991 (the US).
My flag is the blue-and-white of the UN, all other flags are historically interesting at best, despicable at worst.
