My sincere thanks and grateful shout-out to Michelle Ayon Navajas (WordPress’s own Mich) for inviting me to Hotel. This is the third out of three Spoken Words, Hotel has published this year.
Please listen to it on YouTube. My own original Cajun Blues music is the background for the poem. This is not a video, just a Spoken Word. The words of the poem are below:) In the late
1970’s I lived in a Swampy area of Costa Rica. This image is the original sign that hung off my porch. Enjoy!!
Swamp House
Wading to the front door in thigh high boots,
the night falling to the ground before my eyes.
Anything I could imagine, could be imagining me,
I just wipe it from my mind, all that paranoid debris.
Passion is the flame that lights my way.
I let my intuition call me out tonight.
It’s too dark now, to see my hands in front of me;
The mud’s like quick sand, sucking and pulling at my feet.
But…there’s a light on, you left it on the porch so I could see.
I didn’t even have to let you know, because it’s on every night.
Just in case I feel you and your Swamp House calling me…
Just in case I get the urge to live a little dangerously…

Muchas gracias Manuel y me disculpe por no contestarte más antes. Sí viví así por varios años y aunque era bastante difícil en este tiempo para mi, la changua (swampo) tambien tenia sus encantos. Muchas gracias tambien por creer que mi voz es apto por poemas hablados así

Cuando escucho tu voz, escucho tus emociones de tu poema y de esa manera, también me identifico con los versos. Saludos Karima.
