Her Kalehakela Bright Wave

by D. Jayne McPherson

Well, take your shirt
off and start hiking
Ladybug Trickle Treat

It's kinda slippery in
sunscreen swimsuit
Here along the Surf Trail
She trusts new footing and climbs
without a staff to forward her
mysterious taunt:

Nobody knows me, nobody watches
out for me! Ahoy, there!

A rainbow bigger than lies
to waste fresh against fading
turquoise sky to hone in on
belly ache and thirsty moon

Ladybug Trickle come back!
The Golden Gate Bridge has not
yet built a suicide barrier.

I'm a friend of Gary Glazner from when he lived near me in San Francisco. 
Warmth, Jayne
