Requiem For Jan Carew (1920-2012) Poem by Leonard Dabydeen
Requiem For Jan Carew (1920-2012)
From the mud-banks
of our coastal belt
through washing waves
of our sea shores
his voice echoed
with the wind
earthy and musical
resonant and breath-taking
we listen
we share
we sit under coconut tree
reading page after page
and now we take
one last look
at his name
to bow farewell
but never to leave
his work alone.
