Poema Bilingüe

I Am From

I am from the milk in the fridge

from the chodyè and epis

I am from the dos pisos

hard bass vibrations

I am from the thyme in the garden

The arbol que cambia colores

whose long gone limbs I remember

as if they were my own.

I’m from the sopa de calabaza and lwil mascreti

from Mecel and Marie

I’m from the manch pilon and mayi moulin

and from the mondyal.

I’m from the wap kon George and Preval y Aristide

and mezanmi

I’m from la iglesia

I’m from Portland and Haití

Bandera Haitiano
