Prologue - Hemayel Martina

Behold this naked harvest
Of unripe eyes
Ripening
On the gentle, gradual
Compass of time

Behold this naked harvest
Dedicated to ancestors
From our fertile soil
— who conceived
The fruit of promise

Behold this naked harvest
Of unripe eyes
Aspiring
To honor
The celestial language

Behold this naked harvest
Dedicated to nurture
Neurons
That will activate
A battle of words

Behold this naked harvest
Behold my
Observations,
And humble
lnquiry.

Hemayel Michael Anthony Martina (1990 – 2011) Curaçao
