6. The Stone

Cette pierre est une roche: this stone is a rock. It grew big in the sea depths, like a greened cannonball.

It rolled into the Atlantic fault where the unknown thing pulsates, it shifted the continental plates, it made us quake from the quaking of our red lands, and it’s true, it gave birth to the dog.

This béké would be named La Roche, or Laroche, depending on the fickle mood of the ferns of Balata. Is he the same one who made talk with Longoué? Be that as it may, I predict that he knew Oriamé l’Africaine,* and Marie Celat who tells stories. And now they enter this story here to raise the great wind* of the crests.

They stalk la trace, to give voice in this night.
