And the blood sea surf
Speaks in autophilic mummerings
To gauge the depths
Of combat’s
Knife of seawater fire
In the desert of my mind.

Is this beauty’s tide
Translating into my eyes?
True blind are the words,
Sun dazzled by the water music
Of this forgotten war,
Shimmering in the air
Above the white China sand

(Circa 1967 - Revised 2012)

The White China Sand

And the blood sea surf
Speaks in autophilic mummerings
To gauge the depths
Of combat’s
Knife of seawater fire
In the desert of my mind.

Is this beauty’s tide
Translating into my eyes?
True blind are the words,
Sun dazzled by the water music
Of this forgotten war,
Shimmering in the air
Above the white China sand

(Circa 1967 - Revised 2012)
