SHOAL SHALLOWS
Pink Feldspar and holy granite
tinged with suns millenium
Islands capped with torn pines
vaulted in their arm tossed
grace
the mirage slips beneath the
stone like divers going home
they become dreams
blending with the distant visions
sparks of hot magnesium
licking thoughts of bright
passion
polite and sharpened
in the grasses whispered with
secret winds
there are ghost meanderings
and shipwreck witnesses
watching the bay with vacancies
in their waiting
fingers of lightning are dancing
like beams of nocturne query
this shattered deep
embrace sleep
where current
like eels
turn
I hunger for the evening burn
of relevant consideration
dressed in pale frocks
and warm sunburn
