The Caribbean

 

Like a glass of rum caught in the gaze of amorous despair.

The night of the neon lights colours blue a sea red with demons of the earth.

The islands alive from overabundant love and too many rapes : the Caribbean.

Africa is faraway, Africa is close.

And all the ancestors of mixed blood in dreams jostle each other.

It will happen to the whole world - whatever the language or passport.

The first part of our look at the Caribbean is now yours :

Cuba, Jamaica, Martinique, Guadaloupe.

The second part will appear in 1993 :

Haiti, Santo Domingo, Puerto Rico, Trinidad and Tobago, Guiana.

And all the talents stream past.

Forgive us, all those who have not found a place on these overcrowded pages.
