Bora born

Blood moon _

World watch birth watch, trinity bay's slender legs
palm frame the boardwalk near the peace park's green beach.
People pirouette along silhouettes of
silver, soon moon kissed by a tetrad's second pass.

Families scatter in random form along the
promenade seeking out passerby people
with a fine hello for friendships remembered
of stories shared intimacy surely brings.

Children telescope between grass and high tide
across this bay's skinny concrete skirted rim.
Game play known only to them render the night
air in the normalcy of echoed laughter.

Splendour in the park on such a night, some do
wonder at nature's surreal show heavens send.
So they gather along the foreshore, allies
by rite to his chi gong nightly ritual.

Umbrellered under a morten bay fig's sure
canopy, side lit by the ice blue light from
the peace signs tepid glow, the form commences
the unification of heaven and earth.
