Haiku (46-50)
46
tangled hair, beneath
its waves the dragnet eyes that
sweep a teeming sea
47
broods in gold and blue
an alabaster profile,
cameo pendant
48
fortune's mouth agape,
stars aligned to save his hide,
the amber fossil
49
high grass aquiver
bow curve catapults a reed,
the flint-tipped arrow
50
squeaks beneath our feet,
destination Destin(y),
the white quartz beach sand
