Mediterranean
clouds , so few to cool
the migrating geese.

Coconut palms
in the fire of the sunset
rustling breezes.

Bright glinting waves
before I squint
… glint more after.

Leaving it there
the name plaque
in the ship’s bones.

Sailing home…
a moon path
back to the sea.

Tropic isle
waves of sunsets
break on shore.

Sailing solo
a need for all those stars
to leave me alone.

Island cruise
a hush of dawn lovers
at the ship’s prow.

Winter fog
paling haloes
around the sun.

Scorning
the waves of tourists
the whale’s suckling calf.
