Analysis of Back to the start

Jennifer Deveaux 1982 (Glace bay)



Walking about these run down hills, I close my eyes as the hurt builds, why must we walk alone, why must people be unknown, anger frustration is what I now expect , knowing now you do not respect, the door now closing as I try to push understanding nothing trying not to look , I try to see an understanding part but this only takes me back to the start
