What is the meaning
Of old tongues
Reaping havoc
In new places?
The blinding illumination,
Even as you short-
Circuit us
Into further darkness?
What is the meaning of trees
Falling heavy as whales
Their crusted roots
Their cratered graves?
O why is my heart unchained?
Tropical Oya of the Weather,
I am aligning myself to you,
I am following the movement of your winds,
This forms a dramatic climax. The poet asks the key rhetorical question. The storm, despite its fearsome strength, releases or ‘unchains’ the poet’s heart. 
 There is a deeper significance; a reference to slavery of previous centuries. Not only is the poet’s heart released, but she is freed from deep and ancestral bondage; the negative part of her heritage.
