Ocean waves
Pre-dawn
Ambient classic
Modernist masterpiece
All day time disappearing
Silver moon wanes
Slow over pines
Under tropical tree canopy
Sunny green & orange fuzz
Sun-shafts open & close
Mammoth hand
Of clouds
Mid-day butterfly
Rainbow-winged
Stoic
Insects dart & scramble
Under hyacinth pot
Lizards are at it again
Mosquito above
Full of blood
Hungry gecko below
Full of ambition
Porch-light shadow flicker
Trapped inside
A solitary wasp
Cockroach flutters up
Gecko turns his head
We're both thinking the same?
Olive bunches dying
Under late-summer palm fronds
No fear of death
In the swaying plumeria
Dead of summer
More alive than anything
