summer sunlight sparkles on the sea; a boat rocks idly
Summer Seas [Haiku]

high tide sweeps
around the beach rocks,
and then they’re islands.
one shaggy branch
cranes out over the shore,
receives light reward
pooled water,
like liquid metal
in waning light
As in Hokusai’s Great Wave,
I watch waves roll over,
before a volcanic cone.
Though these waves are
small & close,
they are perfectly rounded.
And though the distant volcano
looms large over the shore waves,
it has perfect symmetry.
I feel the roundness
&
simultaneous devastating power
of both elements at once.
