\"IAM_585x585\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I am from baking sheets<\/p>\n

From red dirt that stains<\/p>\n

And Barbancourt<\/p>\n

I am from humid heat that weighs down the skin<\/p>\n

I am from mangoes sweet as honey<\/p>\n

rhum of sugarcanes<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I am from telling stories in the night<\/p>\n

Put downs in the sunlight<\/p>\n

From Jacques up the docks of Cap-Haitien<\/p>\n

To Voltaire down south in mountains<\/p>\n

And Lamberts who sidestepped<\/p>\n

Into Bazelais<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I am from making money<\/p>\n

Only to see it go<\/p>\n

Loving too much but<\/p>\n

Not knowing how to show it<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

From Terra Rouge<\/p>\n

And deep in the woods<\/p>\n

From slaves chains<\/p>\n

To gold chains<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I am from this and more<\/p>\n

I am from this and less<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jacques Dudre was born on the island of Hispaniola. He and his family moved to the U.S. in the early nineties where he fell in love with television, mostly cartoons, a love of which he has not grown out of nor ever will. He is currently pursing a degree in science with the hope of earning a PhD in Psychology while also pursuing his other love of being an artist. If neither of these dreams come true, he hopes to have some fun before realty settles in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
