We have to escape this heat wave. Let's go to the coast, to that stretch of mangroves where no one goes. There's no time to get home to change clothes, let's go now. I need the fresh salt water on my skin. Getting completely wet on the shore and then swimming to the reef, feeling free and weightless in the gulf current as it brushes against the corals. I want to feel like a mermaid this afternoon. Then I want to get home and dive back into the tub to cool off again, so that the satisfied desire lasts at least a week, because this heat is not easy, this heat must be fought with water and with a Caribbean spirit.
Hay que escapar de esta ola de calor. Vámonos a la costa, a ese tramo de manglares donde nadie va. No da tiempo a llegar a la casa a cambiarnos de ropa, vámonos ahora. Necesito el agua salada fresca en mi piel. Mojarme totalmente en la orilla para luego nadar hasta el arrecife, sentirme libre e ingrávida en la corriente del golfo cuando roza los corales. Quiero sentirme sirena esta tarde. Luego quiero llegar a casa y volverme a zambullir en la tina para volver a refrescar, como para que las ganas satisfechas me duren una semana al menos, porque este calor no es sencillo, este calor hay que combatirlo con agua y con espíritu caribeño.
