PALM FRONDS
Invisible sound
Palm fronds bending wind
Irresistible
FOAM
Trembling sea calls
Ocean foaming at the mouth
Spitting swimmers ears
FOG
Liquid sky
vaporizing a Tsunami of sand
swallowing a vortex of sun
Illuminations green
blinded red
dispersing showers of light
BURNING BRIDGES
Bridges burn
before they catch fire
Burning bridges without
fire
