Tropical Dreamscape

Swimming through thick air
heavy-footed
in slow motion

palm sails overhead
sinuous masts
bleached bone-white

gritty mineral bits
river of sand
sliding sideways

pancake-flat sea
alternating ribbons
turquoise and blue

mesmeric pull
abstract peacefulness
to its never-ending edge

awakened
gasping for air
I hold a coconut.
