It's the music as much as the imagery--which is why I love the phrase "a panorama of closed gates led us back to our summer beds," which so rhythmically presents to me that long view. So glad you're writing your memories and sharing your perceptions of them.

You're a structural wizard, Natasha! As well, I can't get enough of the lyrical details...the cluck of the locks in NY, the bimp of the mangoes in Haiti, the white Datsan pick up, the KFC Haitian style, cool night air. The twist at the end as you turn into poetic form is so poignant. Haiti is such a magical place, and yet there is the political repression. You have to submit your work for publication!Michelle Lihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14010297632067368599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415097486834572681.post-64323486124178161092016-03-12T20:37:40.001-08:002016-03-12T20:37:40.001-08:00This is amazing.
