Quote: "“They have no idea what it is like to lose home at the risk of never finding home again, have your entire life split between two lands and become the bridge between two countries.” –unknown Amidst the whispers of the waves, I sail, An expatriate adrift in memories pale. Through years that roll like distant tides, I've...

International Airport This nowhere, a contrived freedom expatriate as air, demonstrates our mastery of what we meet or leave behind. Each precise beginning finds an ending imprecise, as we fly to where or whom we wish only to find them somehow less. The conquered distance returns within ourselves as all that's joined grows relative becomes a nowhere too. Until the town seems smaller the loving eyes less absolute....

Expatriate
I scan the skies as vapor sails, made wide by distance, destinations guessed at, criss-cross trails of global peregrinations; two of thousands flying high 'til touchdown, from a roaring to a sigh. Time and separation matter not, our spirits meld where'er we land, cities mysterious and grand, we simmer in a melting pot. In early years we settled down, Republic versus Queen and Crown, three thousand...

...inspired by 'With a Photograph to Zell' by Hart Crane. We scan the skies as vapor sails, made wide by distance, destinations guessed at, criss-cross trails of global peregrinations; two of thousands flying high 'til touchdown, from a roaring to a sigh. Time and separation matter not, our spirits meld where'er we land, cities mysterious and grand, confidantes, a melting...

EXPATRIATE… (Apropos Soon Come) Heard the chichi budo singing in the banana walk; heard the burro braying; and the mongoose roaming the coop; smelled the aroma of roast breadfruit, ackee and salt fish; and felt the icy cold air tease the warmness of my body. Then came the off-beat pitter patter of raindrops falling on the roof top, drowning away the dream: washing...

American Expatriate
America should have a society of peace, Of handsome peace, And a land of exuberant compassion Where the dusk Is a breast pocket handkerchief Of ebony and yellow, And not this land that is death’s grin. America should have a land of opportunity, Of infinite opportunities Accompanied with sound wages Prolific as Father Time, And not this land where blotted bones reside Oh, America should have a...
