82 Hawaii MANA

DEAF-MUTE  DANCING  GIRL

                                      By Wayne Westlake

The hula dancing Hawaiian girl

with luau feet who couldn't hear

hugged herself

asking me without speaking

"How come I feel this way

 when the music pau?"

And for answering her

"Becuase you wear the cape

 of La'amaomao around your neck"

I caught a spear through the eye

and turned into a horse

Mounted by a dazzling Princess

gowned in red pa'u

with huge red hibiscus

in her long 'ehu hair

spicy ahi and dreams...

-A long and slow day.

-Hinano, a spicy ahi bento and california rolls.

-Dreams of a 1920's Kailua beach.

-New neighbor on my calendar.

-Busy rooftop barbecues and no time to nap.

-Anyone there??

arabiki and the week in review...

This past week has gone...

-Wind and some rain.

-Waves that weren't meant to be.

-Unexpected images.

-And what seems like another dead end.

An unexpected image painted sometime during the week in front of my work place...

-4 hours in the water, Populars was not as popular.

-Arabiki in bacon fat...

-Salmon dinner and milk with rice crispy treats.

-Caffeine that keeps me cleaning.

departures...

She left for home today. Nothing here, just some fond memories. She'll be back in three weeks...for more rumor fodder.

-Quiet interior.

-A pile of dishes, unfinished walls and other projects.

-Fishing in a fish less pond?

-Rekindled contacts, for next week.

-Kona tomorrow?

banyan...

Too much to drink. During and post bbq... Dawn session, the best I had in a while. Maintenance and cleaning, keeps her riding clean lines... Town and other errands. Like a kid in a candy store with no money...

5 am rain...

-snooze for 15 maybe 16 minutes.

-cat shaped paper clips.

-rain falling on pavement.

-distant satellites before the sunrise.

-a cool breeze through the jealousy windows.
