Kailua Beach

Summary: A relaxing visit to the beach. 

 

waves flatten,

their alter-selves

layer-glaze the shore,

lazy white foam rope

wiggles back and forth,

snapped to powder

beneath the palms,

jade-leaf fingers

to wring a sapphire sea

teal green,

 

children oiled like wet

seals, burrow  

like crazy crabs,

sandpipers skate

slick-sand along

the zeal of light, glide

a sliding horizon,

my window pane prone

to slant pans of sun, a

cross-eyed star in the sky.
