ON COLOANE ISLAND MACAU

Pousada de Coloane
Dream

Balcony

On balcony white, muffled
Greening branches hushed,
The lush summer rests.
In absorbent light
Breath
Gives rise to a dream.

Paved Path

Along stone paved paths
Crotons nod yellow red
Spreading creepers invite
As silently mists fold in,
Float
Leave behind the dream

Mist

Go beyond. Sun umbrellas
Blue-fringed flap in air warm
Beach mats on black sand
Shells listening, humming,
Absorbent
A lapping sea froths.

Boats in steady bob
Rustle, nod to waves
Dancing, lifting, easing
Breeze
Flutters here and beyond.

I stop and watch fish smile.
