Caribbean Re-remembered.replicaOn the plateau of AlentejoThe sky is princely blue. In a dried up lake fish areGrey and stones are whiteAnd around its bank yellowStraw rustles in a zephyr,That smells of a bull’s lastBreath and I think of ArubaA sandune of an island in The Caribbean Sea and a sunGlittering on blue water tillIt is a carpet of heaving gold.On the deck of a cargo shipThe forgone remembering days Of light and silent nights,Invincible till they began to die, And deep were the shadows of.Grief The glittering sea is replaced bySullen, narrow minded faces, ofThose who sailed the oceans,Docked in Havana, ValparaisoNew York and Liverpool and Judged what they saw throughEyes of inbred prejudices ofThe Nordic fishing port they Sprung from, and never did theyListen to the song of the sea.Over Alentejo the sky is royallyAzure and I remember more thanI really want to.
