Let Down Your Hair
Friday's proposal
to the day around the corner;
Let's relax, let our hair down,
Drink a toast,
The week has come to an end.
Saturday is waiting
In the shadows,
With her empty basket,
To market to market,
The mangoes and pineapples
We'll buy.

Unfailing Mercy
Every flower as it unfurls,
Is a sign of,
God's love for us as it unfolds,
With each new day;
Every bow arranged in colour
After the rain
Spanning the sky from cloud to cloud
Adds a promise
Of God's mercy unfailing, and
Redeeming grace.

Read also Ps. 103
The automatic doors open,
You are swallowed like Jonah
In the belly of the whale
Only here, you get to pick the meat
Off the teeth in the jaws,
Grocery shopping in a cool space;
You shop according to colour,
Or you shop according to taste,
The cashier ask you to tap or insert;
Paper receipts shuffle out of the device,
The automatic doors open,
You are outside in the glaring sunlight,
With a plastic grocery bag,
Having left the ground floor of the building.

Blossom Speak
This year i see the yellow patches on the mountains. I spot the pink infloresence around the Queens Park Savannah and i exclaim as i always do.
We are in Holy Week the week leading up to Easter, when i think, every said poui tree on the island would exclaim here i am in blossom speak.
In your clime you talk about cherry blossoms at the same time here in my clime i speak of poui
from the car window -
craning my neck to view
pink poui blossoms

On a clear cool day,
Why this needless nuisance of rain,
Past rooftops, routing a straigth path
Down from free fleecing azure.
Who cares? cause the windows are shut;
Maybe every engaging human,
Has had wholly enough,
Of outside influences.
So they therefore shut in
All casual coincidences of life
Leaving legacies of strife to
Flowers free on the meadows
