Frog


Found frog again
today.

She was lying
on top of the
newly cleared
ground where
we used to have
a little house once
upon a time.


I don't think
she is an
ancient
artefact,
possibly

she was bought
from Michael
who carves
stone items
locally
but I really
can't
remember
when or
where I got
her from.
She had
survived a
cutlass blow
or two...
but it was good
to hold her again.

In Kalinago
cosmology
'Frogwoman'
is associated
with the rainy
season so I am
hoping that our
reunion is a
good omen
and a sign
of water
to come.

Stones

There
is
a
plan,
change
is
afoot
but
first
I need
to
do
this
 free up
the
stones
so
they
can
speak
and
tell
us
what
the
truth
is.

Tina

 You came to visit
after 14 years
my friend.

It was
extraordinary
to be with you
again.







I was afraid,
at first,
to share this
space, my place
with you who
know me
from a time

 where crystal waters
never flowed
my head
bowed
in fear
of discovery
of fraud.

Uncalled for
as it all turned out
and everything
resolved, the doubt
that kept me from
myself
evapourated
fizzled out


 We took you to our sacred sites
the places where
the world is right
a glimpse of
what could be
was seen


a crack opened
and your light
shone in.






Language that was lost
to me, flowed once more,
unceasingly, we garbled,
gabbled, giggled, gagged
 with laughter
that illuminated
darkest corners,
infiltrated.

Playing tourist
seeing sights
being happy
feeling free


all the things you brought to me
the person that I want to be








It was so hard to let you go
just when I had got to know
that years are not a barrier to the thread that binds us, that love
stretches beyond oceans and hearts stay forever entwined when open.
