herding in the tropics
a sudden torrent washes out the road
my father speaks of an all-island rain
as little lakes expand across the plain
wet cattle move but slowly with a goad
thick mud resists and does not answer pain
a sudden torrent washes out the road
no one has told me how to read this code
nor how to hold a calm and even strain
in this wet season norms have turned arcane
a sudden torrent washes out the road
