    The poem discusses the landscape of the speaker's body and identity, which has become transparent and speckled by the effects of history. The borders and boundaries of the self have blurred as pleasure and experience have blended the individual into the greater shared human experience that transcends time. The speaker apologizes to their ancestor for how their sense of self has been impacted by broader social and historical forces.

    Landscape

    Robin Coste Lewis

    Pleasure is black.

    I no longer imagine

    where my body

    stops or begins.

    Skin transparent.

    Face speckled

    by the spit

    of several centuries.

    All the borders stare at the same fires.

    Oh Mamere,

    I’m sorry.

    Here I am.
