That’s the second year that our children won’t chant and glorify in unison our national anthem for the independence day of Mauritius. Things have worsened here, the coronavirus has suddenly spread, and everyday there are more people that are being tested positive. We’ve got the vaccines, but not many people did it in time.

My Mom, The Wren
Your smile leads me again to where I began my life,Your gentleness touches me deep, healing my wounds,Your embrace, though am a grown up, cradle me tight,And in this endless night of mine, your bright light looms.Often, I want to creep back within your warm womb,And become again that little baby wiggling inside of you,AsContinue reading “My Mom, The Wren”

My island roots beneath a deepening lagoon Can you see its veins streaking against the blue? The tropical summer heats our feelings But have you tasted the warmth of our winter? At night ourContinue reading “Beloved Mauri – A Poem”
Skinlike Hooves – Poetry
Today Mauritius is celebrating the 184th anniversary of the abolition of slavery And to stamp this day with my own words, I have decided to write a poem concerning all kind of captivity – particularly those that are still going on these days.

1st December
