Repeatedly
The delta is aflame in my country
my laughter short-lived, memory furious.
Let me hide my grief in your long belly, oh Sea
to shelter with the shrimps, feel the joy of the oysters
to laugh with the lobsters, and crow with the crabs.
My angst against myself
is nothing
but a manifestation
that drama of l life is harrowing.
I fail to know myself
in that moral examination
that rises from your expansive bowel.
And the curse that I would remain
dwarf through all ages
comes from nowhere
but my own tongue.
Exile seduces me
a maiden of unknown mermaid.
