Like a Blue-Hued Gauguin
(Coldwater Creek Catalog # RWF 0084)
Mystique -
a lyrical
glimmering glint of greens
bestows abundance and long life -
a stream.
Wind hums
waltz-rhythm'd glide
splashed with fiery florals.
A lozenge of polished wood
floats by.
Begging -
tiger's-eye gleam,
a tray of conch fritters,
pale yellow of tangy citron.
You looked,
easing
toward a teardrop.
Billowing summer sky,
a strand of cultured freshwater
dancing
lightly,
as butterflies.
Daybreak beyond the beach,
canopy of orange blossoms
asleep.
