Women Voices
By Conceição Evaristo
The voice of my great-grandmother
echoed as a child
inside the ship’s bowels.
Echoing moans
of a lost childhood.
The voice of my grandmother
echoed obedience
to the white-owners of everything.
The voice of my mother
whispered echoes of revolt
in the very end of the other’s kitchens
under the trusses
of whites’ dirty linen
along the dusty road
towards the slum.
