SONNET 93

Nets riddled like the blue-black heron banks upon

Waterspouts of sand instead cascade flawless white

As the isle of Boracay turns the rocky mound

Found at Station One, glory 'nd hailed like ancient rite,

Yet paltry 'nd so respect gilds paper Japanese

Due with font and rivers fount in dew concise,

Dear ancients of the isle and the isle itself kneads

Sublime, ulterior bless'd us men pastor of kites,

Embedded in nature when Narcissus meant death,

If not possessed, an act for 'nd by none but himself

In the sand. And the herons knit found trees there met

Them older than the seamless mighty bands engulf

Submit, when gradience end where gradation begins,

Timeless, borrowed power may from nature rescind.
