Cowrie Shells
Cumbia, over fresh fruits – strawberries, and mangoes. Light of the morning hours, penetrated by orange slices of beauty, stretching across, the diaspora, and earthen sky. Salsa, Through midday hours, Into an afternoon, Merengue. The salty sea, pushing forward, live choruses, of sole singing. Seesaw, ball and chain, the dance, brings about peaceful rains, to […]
What I Hear, What I See

Seashells in Your Pockets
I put a seashell to my ear and it all comes back There they are… The ocean waves falling in on themselves against the shore. Racing – rushing into pathways – swirling inside dug outs – the water was frothy, gritty, and brown. The sound, rice krispy, beneath the sand as the water receded. The rhythm […]
Christine

Be a little more original Be bold if you dare It’s vulnerable Give a care The heart’s in danger I put a seashell to my ear and it all comes back… Exotic […]
Sounds of the Ocean
Seashells in Your Pockets Sounds of the Ocean Read the entire story here I put a seashell to my ear and it all comes back The ocean waves were falling in on themselves against the shore. Racing – rushing into pathways – swirling inside dug outs – the water was frothy, gritty, and brown. The […]
Radio Transmissions
“Trippin.. Just laid back and twisted on my mental Twist a note and place it between my lips Twisted into the shape of a paper horn Water bubbling Radio transmissions sounding Turning my lips to the air Succumbing to the seduction of the Sirens. I tumble down. Laughing at my awkward stumble.” by malakhai jones […]
