Three poems on the journey [The: Galapagos, Haiti and Farewell]

Night gulls on the bow of the boat
[The Galapagos / Dedicated to Cody, lover] of animals

The ship-danced next to the seagulls, so

They were proud, were able to keep up;

Not far away, is an island of sea lions,

... (In the upper part of the country and under the sea).
At dawn, we followed closely.

In the dark of night on our boat, gulls

And all the sails from island to island
Density prevailed all the beauties did.

Love: that is,we give back through his eyes:

Above and straight, weave
This beauty, dark and strange, that in our heads ...!

Parting

And how can conclude

Yield a life of reason,
Go with the tide

Even if only for a season.
We can call: death, with the grace?
To leave his heart, part with destiny.
To leave, go slow, everything!

Sowing in Haiti

Was not goodTo get water

And so we got the torrent
With buckets and tin can in hand

We took the water as racing ...

hunchback and that water back, slowly

Five gallons in each segment and can
Emptied for cement, shower and

We need to build a clinic in
Mountains.
Drinking and cooking later;

Under the blazing hot sun, from Haiti ....

Note: In l986, the author flew to Haiti, he drove a jeep-truck in the mountainsHaiti, with 19 others, to build the walls of a clinic for residents of a village (clinic), come first group was (before them) and floor concrete foundation, the doctor had refused to complete and return the clinic. So there he was, followed by two weeks, and had established its basic foundation wall, and a third group, having left to finish the job and the roof. # 1139 1/31/06
