tropical depression
i have lived in the tropics
lying almost naked
on white sand
baked in the atomic gold
of the unwinking sun
until i was so dark
i was taken for a native
i have lived in the tropics
flitting home barely clothed
through narrow lanes
after songbird nights
to shed the grime
of smoke and tourists
in the frangipani air
i have lived in the tropics
floating naked while
caressed in the womb
of a sea so radiantly blue
it wiped visual memory
making one forget
any other color
all this notwithstanding
i was still a stranger
in those tropics where i lived
the seductive sun and scent and sea
could not dissolve
the stiff salt-caked patina
of my northern soul
i could not shed my me-ness
not even for the baptism
of those blue waters
and the silence of a sun
that kept all secrets safe
and the perfumed air
that smothered all transgressions
my natural habitat is not
those tropics where i lived
transplanted but not rooted
not brilliant sun but seabound fog
not sweet perfume but salttang breeze
not the calmly brilliant sea ultramarine
but outlaw whitecaps riding an ocean of bottlegreen
