Dedication For A Plot Of Ground

...Rico 
bore three more children, lost 
her second husband, lived hard 
for eight years in St. Thomas, 
Puerto Rico, San Domingo, followed 
the oldest son to New York, 
lost her daughter, lost her "baby,"

There came the Pilgrims in leather breeks.

The Star-Apple Kingdom

...were melting down walls 
still crusted with mute outcries of La Revolucion! 
"San Salvador, pray for us,St. Thomas, San Domingo,

of no eyes," and when the circular chaplet 
reached the last black bead of Sancta Trinidad 
they began again, their knees drilled into stone,

beads of black colonies round the necks of Indians. 
And while they prayed for an economic miracle,
