William Kelii Kekaula Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Kitchen Is Open

Kitchen Is Open

A Hawaiian
sun blisters
fine grains of beached sand, unaware
to some assured wandering of tender
soles stumbled
swiftly altering
run judiciously

Prepared bodies
rotisserie spirals
evenly baked oily skins glistened among
beads of slippery sweats gliding loosely
suitably turning
perhaps sleepy
retreat reading

Dripping sunlight
rising sunbathers
the conclusive plunge followed by towel
rubdowns prompt a thorough cleanup by
everybody there
final examination
kitchen's closed.
