Hewanorra

Topics: classic

The moon, at most a shudder or two away.         The sky, bivouaked and cloudy, is within twin sloops of a bay.         The lagoon opens, spars with the greater ocean         by island hopping, green azure blue, as         the wind steps before an open sea.         The great ridge of the mountain         lies obscured by rain;         jasmine, frequent colour         and plantations         with cocoa, soursop, and cinnamon.         Arawaks, Pelee,         Carriacoi, Anegada,         Josephine of the Creoles,         let Admiral Rodney atone Lord Byng.         And my Patois beauty,         breath laced Oleander sweet -         take the hemming from your dress         then come sit down with me.
