Surinam Poem by Ellory Mace

Surinam



Everything
but Canada

Banana trees
coffee

in a world
that I recognise

from childhood stories

Heat like a shower
of hope, easygoing in a

hand full of
human colors with
their temper

in a background of
tropical forest
way back to the Amazonas

From the eternal stories
of Indian and African cultures

To the horny beat
of Paramaribo

All times
in all peoples
in one country

Under the same
Sun
