Song For Montserrat
Your twilight began five years ago……
Your twilight began five years ago……
The echo of consonant sounds…….
Reading my poem……
You are a figure of speech…..
I make very small objects appear large…….
Hens chuckle…..
Evening…….
Detonate!………..
I am the ground upon which you uproot……….
A vagrant with ragged clothes all alone……..
Death……
At the beginning……
I am here and there……
“To break my heart, is to break it apart”……….
The tornado is like a top spinning…..
Arawaks were short to middle height…….
Our greatest love, the ring I give to you…..
Into the heart of ebony…..
They came to the new islands before the Caribs…..
