Sunset Over the Sea
SUNSET OVER THE SEA
The lagoon-mirror embraces the sunset.
Perfumed waters of evening
Are lapping at the shore’s lips.
Great yellow melon sun starts
To mull over the idea of rest and
To make love to the receptive horizon:
Their golden bed where fused intentions
End in sudden final flare-out and then sleep.
Our hunger is growing:
The fire of driftwood sparkles in anticipation,
Fish sizzle on the bar,
Smell draws two seagulls to wait
At a respectful distance,
Pecking at seaweed and empty shells.
We are all ready to eat,
And consummate the day.
