PACIFIC TIME

Cedar jungle.

Left coast.

Mellifluous bees,

Hummingbirds swarm

Morning. Teeming creek

Bows to the sea.

Lisping hares,

Nipped chocolates

Consume the household

Quickly. Mugs stacked,

We steep in me.

Fuse. Volatile

Affections lampooned,

Logic disturbed hourly.

Bursts. Snipes. Rants

Compelling as a drowning cow,

Pert hustler rising in your skull

But see, Howe Sound

Currents obviate

Previous episodes, ancient

Grievances, low levels.

Ditch. Forget restitution.

Leave the old scow

To rot on the plain.
