About Me

My photo
I just returned back to the States after 11 years in Taiwan with my daughter. Taiwan is an excellent base for us explore Asia, while living in relative (gun free) safety, while benefiting from a cheap and efficient national health care system. The people are amazing too. I have Taiwanese friendships that are 20 years old and I'm always making new ones! My coworker here in CO is from Taiwan.

We Three Birds Of Prey

We watched the storm coming from the highest island view
Marooned in this raincloud
Translucent silver mercurial cool pellets within a white light
Moving like a lover's breath across the turquoise water
Braced for it vulnerable and unprepared
Far away from the nearest protection, from raincoats hidden under scooters down the trail
Anticipate saturation we huddle soused in its mercy
Besieged for a good 5 minutes
The storm quickly passing
Running its course like a laugh

We three nautical faring birds of prey
Prancing around Vulcan's coral sea spray coast
Arousing saltwater mineral springs during the autumn night drizzle
Brave crowd, barely clothed
Making space in pools for each other
Not strangers anymore for just this moment
