Sotavento

Willets cull the seawall

snapper on the grill

rock ***** swoon

in shallow lagoons

long boats pass

under quiet

palm shade

Plovers dance and flutter

handrails frayed and torn

graffiti spots

at lovers rock

frigate-birds fall

from a high

noon sun

Thatched roof on a mud wall

fish flags settle score

anchors arch

in front line march

pillar cracks form

under rust brown scars

Elegant tern and grebe

watchmen fall in cue

children play

on crested waves

whimbrels and notchers

perch above Tentaciones

Striped pelícanos

the bandits of the sea!

merchants grow

in steady flow

siblings jostle

in a tide cooled sand

Heerman gull and boobie

durango smoke in yurt

boiler shrimp

and puffer blimp

castle buckets and scrapers

under a dusk light cheroot

Six pulls on a lead line

painted toes in sand

shearwater run

in a rainbow sun

the portly mexicano

flaunts his tacos

and wares

Rooster house for swordfish

bamboo shoots and sails

broken shells

and ocean swells

rise

on the

perfect

La Ropa bay
