The next one is, "Carib Nightfall." Now there's a story behind this one. Two, as is always with poets, you find stories and experiences and things. When I, when my mother died of nine, I had to go live with my grandmother in Tobago for a while. And of course, there's a place called Rocky Hill, and we had a lot of land there. And of course, it's the very first night there. I couldn't sleep properly because of the noise. There's so much noise happening. Honestly, I, because I came from a rural part of, I came from the city, right? You know, and then I ended up in Tobago with my grandmother in this very rural area. And this is what happened there. "Carib Nightfall." In the Caribbean, at the end of day, sun drops suddenly like a fire ball behind forested hills and into the sea. Steam clouds of red and orange. shaped like monsters float up into the sky and for an instant, hover there. Kisskadees, kiss, kiss, kisskadees Kiss, kiss, kisskadees and sici-yeah birds chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp chirp, chirp, chirp in awe of the sky and the dark, rushing in leave night music to bullfrogs' ribbit, ribbit, ribbit croaking bass. High octave tunes of mosquitoes' violins, pss zzzz and crickets, twittering. Chirp, chirp, chirp chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp.
