Kaʻōhao Beach

 

22 November 2021


The first time I walked

The beach with Miriam, it

Was wider, empty


No dog on paddle

Board, no throngs be-thonged strutting

By, pug with pink ball


Purple petal off

Lei washes up: scattering

Of ashes, wedding


Strange baby photos

The opposite of candid

Moses in rushes


Posed in small basket

Taken for a small profit

To be adopted


Later for wall or

Album, memento mori

Before the mori


But after memory

Of life’s short lease, ocean’s leash

How the making small


Makes us beautiful

As (not because) the water

Licks sea walls, installed


To stop the tide from

Taking land away from real-

tors, she dropped her guard

 


When she lay on floor

Sangha on her legs, gentle

Hands around ankles


Watch on left wrist, he

Fails to remember save as

Photo I search for


Not yet digitized

Another scattered object

Tiny crocs on beach
