Ode To Small Hope

Banded sea, impossible greens
A sky, too blue
Breezes without a compass
Leaves that rattle
Bleached sand
Seaweed wrapped around toes
Burrs that stick for a painful moment to feet
Gaudy fish
Hungry birds
Lazy dogs
Cooks who smile
Food that pleases
Conversations that satisfy
Changing
Not changing
Going away
Returning
