Kauai from Monhegan Thinking of that other island Swollen in the sun and strung With lianas and honohono streams That other island and that other sea, I give myself this long grey day To northern arcs and a fog-dimmed sea [[strikethrough]] How without echo the coves drop off, How without echo as spindrift. I let this grey unprismatic lie Shale upon shoal. The unromantic shells Passive and placeless turn and turn, And I am given to the frugal bay, Reserving that other pleasure-- Bright red, bright blue, bright yellow, For that other island, where palms shout And shary suns shatter the glass of the sea.
