Notes About The Poem

Diminished Hexaverse   ---   2024 December 13

 

Retiree Returnee

Maunakea comes
into view. Coastlines 
from right side windows.
Hilo, my hometown.
Soon we’ll be landing.

I feel the plane
stop and cargo
door with luggage
bumps hold, thumps ramp.

Passengers
and crew says
Aloha.

Flowered
crowned lei.

FRUITS!
