THE MAGAZINE FOR THE EMERGING BY THE EMERGING
Temperate showers on lazy afternoons where time moves slow.
Liming on the beach,
cares have been left in
stateside skies.
I came home golden.
I came home vibrant. Consummate.
A quiet mind made room for every door to open in my heart.
- Written by Ciara Hendrix
I was Venus rebirthed in Barbados
The salt and limestone in the water permeated my soul.
Silver fish washed my feet in sweet ceremony.
The ivory sand sang me hymns of exfoliation as a pathway
for expansion. Molting old patterns and releasing old
selves as I allowed it to overcome me.
Freedom tastes like mangoes dripping juice of sweet lullabies on sandy palms.
Breadfruit chutney and fish cakes
made fresh. Rum punch to wash it all down.
