Viet Nam Sunrise Visitation


That is our bed, see the keys?
He places two sets,
One by each pillow on his orange fitted sheet.
And then points to the door.

I walk down the hall,
Down a few steps,
And step back up as the water rushes in,
Up to my ankles.

Alarms are blasting from the ship's speakers!
I run to the repair locker.
It's locked!
I reach into my pocket for the keys,
But only feel the smoothness of my own skin.

A hand grabs my shoulder in the dark.
An Irish Mist voice whispers,
"Don'tcha fall on the slippery deck.
The sea fairies be waving to us, See?"

I look over the side;
They laugh and giggle,
As they glide and slide on the ship's wake,
Glowing their phosphorescent greenish blues.

I jump when octopus wraps
His tentacles around my stomach.
He turns me and she is there,
Wearing only her pointed straw hat.

Her nipples are dark on her small breast.
She takes my hand and leads me into the water. The blue damsel fish are all around us,
Sliding against our flesh.

Ship's alarm whispers in the distance.
She pulls me close and places her soft lips onto mine.
The blue damsels shimmer in my eyes.
The alarm buzzes. The damsels evaporate.

The sun shines on my face.
She rolls over, kisses my lips.
"Good morning, Sweetheart
What do you want for breakfast?"
