"Limbo" is a poem by Edward Kamau Brathwaite, a carribean poet in the 1930s about slavery and the boat journey of slaves being transfered from their native countries.
Limbo is sprititually the place in between heaven and hell, a comfortable home. The slaves find comfort in the suspense, and paradoxically the continuos rythm of the game of limbo.
