Secluded Beach
Many years have gone by
since the blissful departure
of the last nosy missionary.
From up high in a mangrove tree
an Orang Belanda reluctantly
still keeps an eye on the ocean waves.
Nearby, smooth and white,
enclosed by teary rocks,
a pristine beach submissively grants
precious peaceful time to the intruder
who writhes out of the rainforest’s clasps
to explore its concealed solitude.
