The feast has begun, everywhere it's part tiMe! Many have arrived at Lakou Migonga. Chickens, turkeys and ducks Are carousing in the yard. Fathers, grandfathers, brothers and sisters are gathered, Neighbors and friends, we all make one family. These are all customs in the country of Haiti. Artocarpus incisa, Millet, Sugarcanes are flourishing. Mangos and Avocados are falling all day long. The night before, it's wood burning, The next day, it's the ten a.m. Mass.

All except for one, The child with the starry crayon. As the sun sets, she slowly ... Yawns ... stretches ... and gets out of bed. She floats up to sit on the moon ... To draw on the fresh piece of black paper. She doodles all night. SoMe earth people watch her, As she draws the constellations.  less
