Rhyme Scheme: ABCDE BFGH IJ KLM N O AD PQ R ST UVRWM| As I watch the clouds assemble steam ship fashion with funnels to | A |
| alert passersby I realize the Romanovs tore silk riches from | B |
| every bazaar leaving the bright spot of this evening studded with emerald marks | C |
| A dot in the ocean is a spark upon which minnows play their silver | D |
| bellies upturned to imitate the moon's white shawl | E |
| - | |
| I am wanting in the delights of the reef narrowly hauled from | B |
| rambunctious depths the tiniest splashes of green yellow blue darting in an upturned fish's tail | F |
| An octopus rock commands squadrons of fingerlings while the eisel | G |
| fish decorates a steeper coral garden | H |
| - | |
| Jet black sand crowns the lagoon volcanic ages' past the innocence | I |
| of this spurting palm while mounds of pitch dark ants deposit slivers of rich eggs | J |
| - | |
| After a fashion onyx enamours pearl and pearl ivory as cays and | K |
| atolls are swept to the wiggle of sun's dance on white sand Eel like | L |
| islands are only pomegranates undigested by the moon | M |
| - | |
| The amber breath of growing leaves is rich dark coffee stolen as in a smile | N |
| - | |
| Almond drink is refreshing as the tips of cloven hooves to the dried earth | O |
| - | |
| One might hesitate to watch firm nipples being given as broaches to | A |
| a king but the sandpiper is a river barge commanding slow access to the next water | D |
| - | |
| Near barely lit lamps alongside make shift beds a woman with olive | P |
| skin prepares her toilet | Q |
| - | |
| Hatchet brown birds beseech her with brittle songs stolen from one wing | R |
| - | |
| A cathedral bowl lies overturned in the warm twilight of lovers | S |
| kneeling before the growing strength of day | T |
| - | |
| Stone stars are flattened by the glare of sun and shell encrusted | U |
| beaches bear a passing resemblance to chalices strung around an avuncular stretch of land | V |
| Perhaps in the hunted meadow near red spined caterpillars feeding | R |
| near the larvae of the elephant hawkmoth a cistern will open the | W |
| earth and drink as a thirsty spoon | M |
