what are 3 images of oppression in the first 5 stanzas of "Elsewhere" by Derek Walcott?


Somewhere a white horse gallops with its mane

plunging round a field whose sticks

are ringed with barbed wire, and men

break stones or bind straw into ricks.


Somewhere women tire of the shawled sea's

weeping, for the fishermen's dories

still go out. It is blue as peace.

Somewhere they're tired of torture stories.


That somewhere there was an arrest.

Somewhere there was a small harvest

of bodies in the truck.p Soldiers rest

somewhere by a road, or smoke in a forest.


Somewhere there is the conference rage

at an outrage.p Somewhere a page

is torn out, and somehow the foliage

no longer looks like leaves but camouflage.


Somewhere there is a comrade,

a writer lying with his eyes wide open

on mattress ticking, who will not read

this, or write. How to make a pen?
