Bora Bora In-Between

Feline glacial sauntering

giggles from a nearby tent

tumbling laundry button clacks

and distant roar of surf beneath

the drone of lazy honey bee

and house fly numerology

spun softly in the wind.

Snorkeling moon reveals

the sheen of sweet lagoon

reflecting coral in-between

the sky a blue mandala.

Twilight brings the solitary

wanderer to thatched café

lagoon fish in a silver bag

melting down to buttered

daze of leis and ukuleles.

Swim in stars across the sea

burst of arcing doves release

a thunderstorm beyond the reef.
