Together we sway
to the rhythm. Coconuts
squash the romance quick.

Cocoa pods ripe…

Bitter made sweet.

Packaged as treasures

For you, and for me.

A treasure the size

of a chickpea, disfigured,

this soul I carry.

on ledge examining me!

Serendipitous
Mish-mash of beats: coffee beans
Grind to Creole speak.

Now for the fun bit!

A game of Chinese Checkers.

Silence in the room.

How to behave now

he finds me sketching him with

Weight Watchers

Sweet potatoes baked

or plantains fried, 

take your pick.

Caribbean treats

delectable and sweet, 

one puts more weight 

on the thighs!
