ALL THAT GOES WITH THAT (Tobago, 2014)
progression lost to lulling waves I am
fashioning a castle – too close to
the breakers;
Flamboyant long seed pods for bridge
coral for the windows,
I consider the poison apples of the
Manchineel
for decoration, this sand
house will fall
and form
again
under the coconut palms.
My son with his daughter hugging on
rises and falls in the waves,
as I must have
and did
am now in tandem.
Delineation grows feeble with age I
see,
riding
the collapse of time.
