Notes About The Poem

1492, Brian Strand, 7/27/2026

Island Escape

moonlight
cascades
over the falls
landing on the boat
covered, floating
in the ebonic sea breeze

I am in there
so are you
if you so choose
both sleeping

something about
Hawaii
unhurries the heart
waits for
floating leis
lazily drifting
in the ebb and flow
of forever after
