A wishing-cloak
seamless as Kanomi's tides
replenishing the bay at Considine;
to sing polyphonies of leaves:
weeping ti-tree, swamp mahogany,
bloodwood, poplar gum, grey mangrove -
avicennia marina, needing to inhale
both air and brine…
a cloak of sorcery against my skin
to cast old island spells
and summon spirits of Kanomi's
totem whales, to charm the mind.
