Refugee
The sun slants down on heavy haze through coconut fronds,
Illuminating porcelain power.
A smooth, cool, hard protection;
As breezes play fitfully, surprising the steambath with refreshing gusts.
Delicate strength in washed, white curves;
Warm, salty air lifting the sea up to meet the sun
And dropping it once more.
Grass dancing gently
On a shifting ocean of bright white sand.
The blunt importance of secret solidity
Held firmly by the island's transparent treasure.
Illuminating porcelain power.
A smooth, cool, hard protection;
As breezes play fitfully, surprising the steambath with refreshing gusts.
Delicate strength in washed, white curves;
Warm, salty air lifting the sea up to meet the sun
And dropping it once more.
Grass dancing gently
On a shifting ocean of bright white sand.
The blunt importance of secret solidity
Held firmly by the island's transparent treasure.
