Slowly, it comes back to me...
I am awake,,,I am in Punta Gorda...
I am hearing a "nite-nite" - the traditional send-off
of the recently departed by the Garinagu
One week after a death, an all night bash of 
drinking,singing,and dancing...
The Garifuna farewll, African and Carib blended
as the living cope and the dead depart.
