One poem
Pearl Beach at Six O' Clock
A lagoon, iridescent blue.
Turquoise streaked, deepening.
Above, a sun stripe shimmers
Pinks a coral reef in the sky.
In reflected clouds, watered,
A crab moves slow,
Climbs stones, shells.
Pods float past seaweed flowers,
Black pointy stars spark wet rock...
The heron, white, slim, skims low. stops,
Sinks into sand and stays still.
We watch silent, the luminescent moment.
The brilliant blinding at the end.
