Afaa Michael Weaver

Climbing China’s Great Wall

Afaa Michael Weaver - 1950-

This wall is a great stairway, walls

are things that shoot up, keep out, line

the places where we mark the halls

that carry our names. The busts

of this one and that one, this history

is in the hard labor of hearts, thrusts

of piston and valve. I sit down

at the first house, dizzy at the view

over the wall, the tourist town

below us, in buildings made old

by the deliberate hand of business,

not the rain, the sun, the untold

billions of raindrops and tear drops

of soldiers wishing for the lovers

they left behind, untended crops,

mothers weaving braids of grief

in their hair. A little old woman

bounces past me, leaping the brief

weld of stone to stone, the stairs

the legend and skeleton of the wall,

where white cranes dance in pairs.
