Island Arrhythmia
(Poem by Wendy Howe )

Call her Haiti --- this pulse
skipping joy,          slave beat, girl
         glaring in the landscape's gut

at the sea wind
unwinding its white
                      bandanna.

She slaps the sky,
her braided hair
a whip flung --- begging
            gauze not fog
to bind the bleeding wounds.

Her ancestors
pounded meat and corn;
               but she pounds the hours
into seconds, fingers ticking
            faintly against fallen stone.
