about

A Hawaiian Hula Song, re-imagined with nods to Link Wray.

lyrics

She sits in the cold glow
of the great wave
on her new TV,
wears a satin dress,
sips from a crystal glass:
a single ice-cube
strains a meniscus
of sweet white wine,
bends the horizon of her nearest sea.
She turns to the light,
holds her glass high
as any tree on Mauna-loa
might raise its fruit
to toast the feathered cloak
of a setting sun.
Soft music plays,
surf breaks
on black lava-stones,
air murmurs
among the leaves of palms.
In these past dawns
she would swim
through any shallow reef,
whisper across
the hollow slit of a pearl-pink shell,
carry that breath
so carefully
between white surf
and altar-stone
not a drop would spill.
