PUNTA RASA BAY



                        the dalliance of wind

            in palm trees cool

                                    off Punta Rasa bay

 

 

            we snowbirds

                        stumble out from pancakes

to lay out like sausages

                         sun-desperate savages

 

 

                        the osprey lighthouse

            guardian of the cerulean

                                    circling

circling

 

 

                        circling 

            in his desperation

                                    longing

 

 

            Hurricane Charlies

and cigarette boat wakes

                        lapping shore slapping

 

 

jacaranda and crushed mint

                        the lone swimmer, seal skin

            glistening slow lapping

 

 

                        desire, habit, work

            breaststroke desire

                                    bobbing

 

 

incipience!          insouciance!

            insolent somnambulance

                       

 

                        the dolphin watch insistent

            among the strangers

                                    sweet melons          cabanas

 

 

the soul's languish

            ardor in latitudes, succulent

memories          memory and flesh

 

 

                                    language!

            languid bilabials

                        dispelling rumpled shame

            unfurling in the wind

 

 

                        shoreline tides 

whispering            whispering

            sucking, slurping the passionfruit

                        Aztec heat!

 

 

            worshipping snowbirds

exaltant exultations

                        heed this raucous serenity, this

            sleepwalking significance

 

 

luxuriant disorder

                                    oleander, the jealousy

            wind dalliance

                        in palm tree arousing

eros in sway, a blessing

                        lurid and bootylicious

 

 

            banana thongs poolside

                        it's coming, commingling

abeyance in slatitude

            the swansong surrender              beware!

 

 

                        the surrender!

silky acquiescence

            in the pent penitent              slathering

 

 

                                    abandonment

                        of it all, surrender!         relinquish!

                                                sweet sunblind meditation

 

 

and succulence

                        meditative prurience

            dying in the sun sky

                                    again
