Hawaii

Where the blossoms bloom
on almond throats
grass skirts await the docking boats
floral splashed prints
awaken the sun
and room enough for everyone
Where black crowns shimmer
by the sea
and coconuts repress the trees
Where the whole world comes
to steal a part
of America's beauty
from her heart
