Through the rainforest.
Lunch at Rhythms Rainbow Beach,
then Carambola.
Soft watercolor
pre-dawn shifts to vividly
rendered intense hues.
Wet bathing suits, striped
towels hang from porch rails like
vacation banners.
Kayak to Green Cay.
Snorkel among reefs. Head back,
sunburned and happy.
Cruzan pineapple
flavored rum makes happy hour
even happier.
We eat cereal
on the porch by the sea, while
island music plays.
Intense turquoise, the
water is a wake-up call
to swim, sun, sail, dream.
An affectation,
but it’s cute, and she is for
given many sins.
