A.M. Pacific

The morning ocean

startled by the infant sun

rests under a blanket 

of a million silver coins 


Elsewhere enraged

she tosses native fishing boats

like popcorn.


Note:

Just after the April 30 fall of Saigon and in the first week of May 1975, on board the USS Parsons somewhere in the Pacific near Okinawa.
