the sun so bright
that not only water glows
but, also, the sand

the sun so bright
that not only water glows
but, also, the sand


ordered black coffee,
they brought a plate of cookies,
well-played, love won.

a tree grows
out of stone ruins -
not so ancient


liquid gold flows
around rocky monoliths
and then sun sets

the sun rises
between the palm trees,
i see reflected


grass so thick & dry
that i avoid mere thoughts,
incendiary

folded butterfly
might pass for a leaf,
if not bright orange
