Fat round raindrops fall
And flood the fetid street,
A warm, wet treat
For an island owned by heat.
A slippery deluge, a storm,
Lamai welcomes the warm
Caress of wet hot rain
And I am birthed into this land,
Into sun, colour, and sand.
Waters break,
A lake, deluging me
Willingly, I bathe
In amniotic rain
Reborn, in heat, and hope, and pain.

Fat round raindrops fall
And flood the fetid street,
A warm, wet treat
For an island owned by heat.
A slippery deluge, a storm,
Lamai welcomes the warm
Caress of wet hot rain
And I am birthed into this land,
Into sun, colour, and sand.
Waters break,
A lake, deluging me
Willingly, I bathe
In amniotic rain
Reborn, in heat, and hope, and pain.
