Perhaps to Be
Thadious M. Davis
In the afternoon the sun
starts to sink
over the sea
over the shore
over the fort.
And the long haul into evening
begins to pull

at the afternoon sun
at the angle of light
at the Malecón

Thadious M. Davis is G. C. Vanderbilt Professor of English at Vanderbilt University. Her new book is Games of Property: Law, Race, Gender and Faulkner's "Go Down Moses".
