THIS WEEK’S WORDS come from “Love in a Time of Climate Change” by Craig Santos Perez: rare, crude, habitat, seed, taste, love, ripens, survive, rich, compost, sea, heat
the fragrance of honeysuckle
was all he remembered of his childhood
wish he could remember more from his habitat
taste of seeds which made him chuckle
chuckle with friends that’s what he wants
as they swim in the sea and play football
rich compost made from ripen fruit and vegetables
survive the heat and house that haunts
haunts like a ghost as he pursue
the love that he once had to his neighbour
but it was unrequited so had to leave
all’s been arranged in one sad view
view of the world and all things dah
could be crude, could be rare, all in between
love in a time of climate change and that’s not all
all these and he doesn’t know the*
