A sunny flower lying
on honeyed surf
and shore
Your golden soul
Giverny, Paris
A sly wind conspired
for weeks
with an eager sun
to melt the clouds
and gaze unhindered
at the speckled splatter
of Monet’s heaven
below
I See You in Tuvalu
Sand-flecked strands
of inky hair
Sapphire skies
warming chocolate eyes
A tender sea, cerulean
and rising
towards
rosy toes
A sunny flower lying
on honeyed surf
and shore
Your golden soul
far from ashen clouds
charcoal skies
iron and smoke
and snowy Cleveland
