At island’s shoreline
Standing as if I were its
Lone sad visitor
Watching water move…a vague
Frothed green, some blue of his eyes…
Smelling flowers’ perfume, salt–
Skin sticky with sweat
I tasted tears, rolling wave
After heartbreak’s wave
And let them have their own say
Fingers not blotting harsh truth…
Despite foolish dreams
He’d not been on loan to me–
Only courtesy
Of grand imagination
I cling to, cannot un-clench
