Moments from Cabarete

---

light, sun, liquid heat, smoldering nights in a dorm room, sleeping on the floor, mosquitoes preventing open windows - waking to doves adjusting to morning. Moving through space, noticing landscapes... voices of Dominicans playing in the background, a boy asking to have shoes bought for school... Smooth chocolate monkeys, sand dollars and warm waters... snorkeling, floating after fear subsides, a world below..stinging jelly fish...no problem... Making dinner together, splitting up, taxi cabs and Gua Guas..., Supermarcardo de Janet, two minutes to buy groceries...rummy, Skipbo, charades... a place to come back to.
