My Santiago

Castro’s Grave (Santiago de Cuba)

A City of the Dead, White sepulchred, Row upon row of Cuban folk heroes, In their final resting place; Providing a background to Fidel’s tomb which lurks Dome - like, A mound of earth with the man’s name, Simple, stark, against the grain of the earth grey boulder.

A life well - lived, A man well - loved, A task well - done; “Home art gone, And taken thy wages”

Vale Fidel!
