Tropic isle
retched by a storm
the beach debris.

Tropic isle
the hula palms
shedding winds.

Dozing into sleep
on rounded breasts
our boat in the swell.

Where the cruise ship berthed
the moon
on coiled ropes.

Limp sails
an albatross on the deck
in folded wings.

On its reflection
a cruise ship through
the full moon.

The still dark sky
pinned with stars …
Aegean dawn.

Solo yachtsman
his shadow falling
behind the wind.

Pleasure boats
gentle harbour waves
caressing their hulls.

The last-month mum
alone after breakfast
pruning her bonsai.
