Soothing (original version)

1.  The Impression

Water flowing from a channel

among rocks

of lava

in the surf

on the bay

at Kona.

2. The Wide-view

A yellow cloud of Tangs

surges and falls

with the swells.

A spray of salt 

sprinkles

the dove

and the sparrow

and I.

3.  The Setting

Voices

Music 

somewhere nearby.

Cecilia 

is efficient

and kind

she refills my glass

we take our time;

the dove,

the sparrow,

and I.
