WAIKIKI: DECEMBER, by                    
First Line: One surfboard on the beach
Last Line: From the forgotten surfboard.
Subject(s): Waikiki, Hawaii


One surfboard on the beach;
The last swimmer gone.
Lights in the trees
Where rests the lion mountain.
Rain in the sea,
Rain on the padded sand;
Beat of a north-west rain
Breaking the waves' smooth contour,
Dripping from the kiawe
Into the black canoes;
Finding the hole of the sand crab,
Blurring the prints of people;
Gleaming, running, sliding
From the forgotten surfboard.
