In the petering light
of day
green-feathered
parrots fly home to roost.
Cue the celestial
flame-throwers.
The Pomeroon river summoned
by
currents, heads
towards the
Atlantic
Resplendent
in shimmer of
narcotic orange
she signs primordial
kinship with the sky.
Shade-shifters;
plantain, moco-
moco,
mangrove and palm:
morph.
Shake off their
green
and sway like
black cardboard cut-
outs against the
palette of fire.
Eyes in homage, my
spirit soars;
Ready to meld, I take
a seat.
Nocturnal maestri croak, clear their
cords behind the wings.
