Tropic Morning Moon and Midnight

A   L   O   H   A  !

The moon does not care 

if the dog barks at it.

     Czech Proverb

No matter how fast moonlight runs, 

daylight catches up. 

            Virgin Islander Proverb

The moon is fat and the 

night air is so pure 

it seems edible. 

          Roberto Bolaño

While I was staying in California,

a rather older woman was telling

about her teen years in the Pacific

Islands as a military dependent

in the wake of WWII.

"We swam under moonlight

among the remains of battles.

I'm sure it was dangerous,

and our parents would have

disapproved, but those are

some of my best memories.

In the tropics, you do not 

end at your skin. The air is

balmy, warm, moist,

and you seem to go on

forever, merging with it;

Your soul seems to

reach into the sky, and

rendezvous with the moon."

Never was I more homesick!

Writing this to you now,

I have never been more grateful

to simply be home.
