         Five Poems for Cape Hatteras - Summer Solstice 1985

               Rain dances 
          to the beat of  
          Wind Drum; 
          Lightning flashes 
          and I tremble.

               Sun Hawk 
          gliding over 
          Ocean, 
          Horus Hawk 
          has caught himself a fish!

      | 
        
               Coquinas 
          turned ass-end to meet the sky, 
          your      multi-color antics make us laugh!
              
              | 
      
        
               Heat rises 
          from the moss-grown plain. 
          Striped lizards 
          hide in fox glove.

            Night Ocean 
              beating wave upon wave into my brain, 
              creates there 
              unutterable stillness; 
              black silence 
              of a thousand glittering stars!
