POSTCARD FROM LESVOS

GARDEN OF THE SEA

Margarita tends flowers
spilling profusely
from freshly painted
sky-blue boxes
overhanging the beach.

Parasitic pots,
buckets and shells drip
blood-red geraniums
down the lime-washed
boles of Almirikia trees.

Roses toss golden heads
on a scintilla of a breeze;
as a lace-edged, turquoise sea
is busy, busy, polishing
jewel- bright stones.

***

At dusk,
strings of sapphire lights
will wink above
white marble tables
as the last crimson rays
lovingly caress
Margarita's
'Garden of the Sea.'
