Kalalau

Paper-thin rocks
shaped like scissors

Everything vertical
especially the water

no fireworks for the new year
only a bonfire in the rain

exhausting hike
what's for dinner?

java plums, oranges, lemons
taro, bananas

the ever-clouded mountain
clear for once

holes in the rock
rocks on the trail

sandy beach with boulders
boulders with no sandy beach

restful place
with noisy helicopters

no news available
may peace prevail on earth

when the stars are less clear
the valley is far behind
