FLYING TURTLES
and then
after the moon sets
the tide mopes in all day
deepening the luminescent blue
that pools beneath the palms.
Small fish flicker,
while ghost crabs dance
forward and back
with each fresh swell.
Coconuts float
on sultry afternoons
while leatherback
fan gentle wings
and fly
swiftly with the current
inhaling
into the ocean
to wait for the moon to rise.
