Bamboo Shoots breeze
Post-Pandemic
They are five young shower trees
Aligned on Auahi Street, fearlessly
Blossoming outside Salt in late June’s
Heat, full in their belief that they always
Will be so lustrous and as proud
As the youth of Honolulu parading
Under their shade, fearlessly believing
This will never happen again.
Ken, aloha. Although you posted this as a Shoot da Breeze piece, we’re going to consider it a July contest entry, too, if that’s okay with you? BB
