Churning listless feeble foaming waves
Pods of Humpback whales splash and dive
Reflecting sunset’s waning rays.
As curly crimson clouds arrive,
Far Edgecombe’s volcanic cone
Shines bright in alpenglow, alone.
Cloudy...

Steal James Dean's car
Paint it
Marlboro Red
Marina Blue
Cocaine White

just as the sun is leaving
Peace of believing
Bees return from day's searching
still butterflies under moon

Blooms closing petals
Lustrous fireflies are dreaming
