Memorium for Haiti

Furcy, Haiti

Haiti that birthed me is

bleeding her guts inside out

spasms wreck her body senseless

leaving her with a case of the shakes

she trembles tremors trying to toss off

the choke of oppression cloaking her since

Columbus with his bloody boots

Columbus with his blood soaked boots

trampled native Taino lives

into her core

into her waters...
