UNBOUND

BROOKLYN MAMBO

Mechanical element surges like oil into flames of the wild and dark
Her blazing eyes are filled with palms
And Caribbean heat
It surges
Like milk from her breast
The highway to her
To the calypso of her kiss
is poised
For my embrace
Far from the sulphur of San Fernando
We entangle our hearts
And listen to the drums that announce
The Kingdom of Mawu
Mawu's heartbeat
Resounds from La Salines
From St. Vincent
Into the heart of Brooklyn
Where she, as Dieu Devant opens the ground
To pour all roads
Into the future
