pilgrim crumb (1994)

shuttled from the airport
across farmland, pineapple, sugar cane,
cannabis, in the bed of dusk pickup
we reach the sweet hut
nestled in amongst guava aroma,
walls of glass, host treats us
to local kindness,  then we drive up
to kula winding higher 
up the ocean mountain to a picnic
with a rope swing growing
into a fathomless dark swish



Maui, Hi
