Drop Ship From Hong Kong

Nautiloid Reef
The sun reaches down thru
twilight eucalyptus

I told her I thought it was worth about
a half a minute of silence

nailed to the shadow of a palm tree

The Flipside
Wet sand, beach concrete, neap tide
              & a kind of melted plastic Buddha-Land

Don’t Look Back
A late summer fade in velvet

Long Gone
She wore those suicide pearls
              & I was about halfway there
