Lagrimas Del Mar
lightening, apprehension of thunder
conch shells, coins, three bells
a patio overlooks the Caribbean
palms shiver in a constant wind
the speed of sundown, the length
of a caress, red flamboyan
sheltering the small white house
your arms around my sleep
a rainstorm sweeps the mountains
at twilight
on the edge waiting, earthquakes
at Easter a new tide
rises along an ancient shore
two emeralds, three sapphires, pearls
they call tears
saints in the caves, fresh water,
rain silvering the screens
a simpler theory
of beauty unbraids her dark hair
slowly, waterfalls in the jungle
mimosa and hibiscus scent the air
the heat of your breath
on the nape of my neck
sand on the patio tiles, sand
in bed, the salt taste of you
mist at evening
nights on the beach
we find pearls, luminous
in the tropical moonlight
