STUDENT ENTRY

Remember the Caribbean?

Cookouts, cuddling, classes on the beach,

Encouraged by the afternoon sun.

St. John: Where hikes brought land sickness

Statia: Free time, SCORE!

Antigua: are we there yet?... Can we leave yet?

Dominica: Fresh water, fresh food, cliff jumping.

St. Lucia: Dock-lines tied to palm trees. We run.

Carriacou: Scurvy sets in. Climbing up rocks at beaches.

Trinidad: The Breakfast Shed. Northern Range

Memories fade,

Relationships change.

All that’s left is what’s captured and saved.

Memoirs, mementos,

Photographs and scars.

Now just lie down, and look at the stars.
