Churches are opening this weekend in the new normal phase of face masks and social distancing.

I bought some lovely dasheen leaves on The Western Main Road (here, in T&T, we say in everyday talk 'callaloo bush' ) and i cooked a pot of Callaloo yesterday. Also, with The Rains the Plumeria blossoms in my garden, are large and full and happy looking.

AT BEYOND

Conjuring raindrops
she hides amongst the clouds
cap of golden curls

twine around
cumulus puffs like trinkets
a jeweler crafts

Sigh!
carry back the sunshine
to the upper room

Dont neglect
the eagles nest at beyond
you truant spirits

Bend the bow of colours and place it

In The Rain

Yesterday, caught in the rain, walking to my house, all i could think of was my new umbrella at home pretty and dry.

walking in the rain -
not a birdsong
applauds me
