September 10, 2014The Day Is the Island
and the island a man who loves you
hearing the ubiquitous chickens of Kauai
uncaged since Iniki wrenched them free
the rooster will begin at dawn
who loves you
setting a green chair under the ironwood tree
and drinking coffee there
the campfires have gone out
and the tide going out too he loves you
while you wait in the coconut wind for dawn
to complicate things
