No man is an island,

Entire of itself; Every man is a piece of the continent, A part of the main. […] Any man’s death diminishes me, Because I am involved in mankind.

Things We Carry on the Sea

We carry tears in our eyes: good-bye father, good-bye mother We carry soil in small bags: may home never fade in our hearts We carry carnage of mining, droughts, floods, genocides We carry dust of our families and neighbors incinerated in mushroom clouds We carry our islands sinking under the sea We carry our hands, feet, bones, hearts and best minds for a new life We carry diplomas: medicine, engineer, nurse, education, math, poetry, even if they mean nothing to the other shore We carry railroads, plantations, laundromats, bodegas, taco trucks, farms, factories, nursing homes, hospitals, schools, temples… built on our ancestors’ backs We carry old homes along the spine, new dreams in our chests We carry yesterday, today and tomorrow We’re orphans of the wars forced upon us We’re refugees of the sea rising from industrial wastes And we carry our mother tongues […] As we drift… in our rubber boats… from shore… to shore…. to shore…

We'll call the canal the Rockefeller Canal and the mountain King George Mountain and the sea the Dupont Sea, and there'll be Roosevelt and Lincoln and Coolidge cities, and it won't ever be right, when there are the proper names for these places."

Our physical alienation from India almost inevitably means that we will not be capable of reclaiming precisely the thing that was lost; that we will, in short, create fictions, not actual cities or villages, but invisible ones, imaginary homelands, Indias of the mind. […] It may be argued that the past is a country from which we have all emigrated […], but I suggest that the writer who is out-of-country and even out-of-language may experience this loss in an intensified form.

AmeRícan, broader than lost gold never touched, hidden inside the puerto rican mountains.
