I DREAM OF THE SAND AND SEA

I dream of the sand and the sea's salt on your skin,

Of the hard surfers that hurl their bodies like sharks

Down the thunderous tunnels off Te-a-hu-po‘o

And Pe-a-hi, and Dangerous Banks

And Cape Fear  

And I wake up trapped in the American South,

Close in under a root-tangled riverbank,

In cold water up to my neck,

Handfishing, naked and hungry.
