::: Maui, Hawaii April,1991 :::

It is morning beside the sparkling pools
where water flutter with fish
cooling the engines of Aloha Airlines # 42
still breathing of mainland's dusty plains.

Ask for first island recipe:
Mahi mahi with Macadamia nuts
absorb the memory- the album
full of snapshots of banana fronds
malongay leaves:  you must be
standing alone
smiling.

Rachelle giggle:  I see a fish..fish
besides the mirrors. No tears
without the goggles with help as

she will grow up to write of
hot summers and dirty rains.

Something is going here:
on the muddy road to the Christian
Church of Kahului
hundreds of ukelele overflow a
Easter Sunday of April
spilling as waterfalls over
Kaanapali Kapalua hills
the life of Valley Isle West
power and melody.
