Eye of Coral Moon
Koho’olawe a hazed shade
sunset cloud low mountain
rare to see though closest of all
whales gone spring seas quiet
shearwater quiver darkened swells
silvering-blue the whole surface change
hungry sweet mesquite beans
wild goat, zebra dove, the native grass
courtship display, subsistence beauty
