The first classic beach barbeque was the cremation of Shelley

Mayan temple basilica (classical Roman, in
              Sanskrit) a CATHEDRAL (Hawaiian gothic)
submerged just beyond the reef
                                                (its feathers are silver
                              rippling in a pool of stained glass)
a pagoda, a pavillion, a palisades
              bronze door balustrade cistern
(part of the concrete seawall had broken, crumbled, rotted
away exposing rusty twisted rebar bones
                              jutting from its gray carcass
              as if a chunk of raincloud
                                                                ritually stained
(prehistoric neon tubing exposed
                              where the Aztec pornstar descends
her feet barely touching the ground
fuck shit piss dance
