St. T

Caribbean with a flair
Of forgotten fairy tales
Some old - slavery rape
And hidden horrific
inhumane humanity
Some new - freedom joy
Somehow it comes
Together in people
And how they treat
Their fellow faulty
Females and males
Because being stranded
For a week on St Thomas
The doubter around Easter
It is gratifyingly grand
To feel that even though
We were the conquerors
For a long while but
We are the ones being
Captured Caribbeanistic
With charm and cool
Curious Conversations
By the Islanders with the
gently gamely generosity.
