MORNING LIGHT (the Dew-Drier) by Effie Lee Newsome.
In Africa little black boys, “human brooms,” are sent before the explorers into jungle grasses that tower many feet to tread down a path and meet sometimes the lurking leopard or hyena.
This poem re-stages a tracing match (quarrel) between two
Jamaican women. Common cuss-words like "boogooyagga" (low-grade) "heng-pon-nail " (bedraggled) are used.
Gwan gal yuh fava teggereg,
