After
two days and nights of rain or threats of rain, the sky is clear in all
directions, calm, and absolutely glorious. But you my dear have been
reminding me all day of the earthquake. When the earthquake reached
our little house in Pètionville it was a low rumble that reverberated
through the earth until it reached the floor under our feet. For less
than 30 seconds we watched the earthquake make everything around us
tremble.
You are deep within me
moving
in water
beating
in good rhythm
your bony elbows and knees jutting up against my skin
like the jagged mountains that characterize this island
allowing us to see you from the outside
Today
I am in awe of your presence within me. Several times today I just
had to stop doing anything to let you move. I am also and suddenly
reaching this point where I’m wondering how are you going to get out of
here. I am hoping for little earthquakes and a few medium-sized ones
too. I don’t mean real earthquakes and I don’t mean to make light
about the January 2010 earthquake that was fatal for hundreds of
thousands. I just mean contractions. I mean life force. Feeling
life force.
