“We Did Not Leave for Luxury: On Haitian Migration and Displacement”

We did not leave for luxury.
We left for life.
For breath, for bread,
for a break in the storm.

We crossed borders with broken Creole
and pockets full of memory.
We built churches in Brooklyn,
sent remittances from Miami,
prayed in Montreal,
and marched in Chile.

We are not lost.
We are scattered seeds
of a homeland still burning
in our bones.
