while
the
ocean
swims
inside
them.

Wise uncle. The shape of this wonderful piece reminds me of a totem pole. Like how every word is given space to do its thing.
Lovely. I was going to say the same thing as Bill about the totem pole and how it also brings an island vibe to the shape of the poem!
looks like a diver to me.
your ancestor was a poet
Love this!
Nice to see your tiki-totem. It speaks the truth. I love to read more Hawaii inspired poems!
the island itself breathing the sky while the ocean swims inside of them – look at the dynamic rhythm here guys, gals, and persons – consider the rigid structure it plays against – what tension!
Fantastic. You are absolutely blooming, Poet Coleman.
I enjoy your shape as well as your words.
Gorgeous sir. And yes!
