A Daughter is a Colony
A territory, a progeny,
A spitting image
like Athena sprung
From her father’s head;
Chip off the old block,
Issue and spawn;
A namesake, a wishbone
Loyalist and traitor
A native anD other
A subject, a study,
A history a half blood
A continent dark and strange
NATASHA TRETHEWEY - Silver sparrow . . .A novel by Tayari Jones
