Aloha Means Hello and Goodbye
as a lad
living in
Hawaii
i had
a tiny
turtle
bought
from not
even
a pet
store
but one
that had
more then
two and also
sold sushi on the side
but
with pride
i picked out
the perkiest so
it would
live longer
than the other
more then other
ones
had so
not needing
the whole
kit and
kaboodle
i took my new
friend home to his
or her
algae stained
remains of a desert
island now water filled
to the level
of the beginning
of the winding path that
would take turtle happiness
to its private
resort restoring
the kingdom even
though looking out my
window at
coconut trees
i had climbed as
my mind currently
placed
the plastic
flag of a brown
stemmed and green
leafed palm
tree in the hole
so that turtle island
wouldnt sink
god
rest
in
peace
