my island, a crumb on the curled lip of the pacific

i feel at home there; a place almost as familiar to me 

as the slender touch of water is along the fire-beds of

the conflagrant sun. am i foolish for believing these 

illusions cast by my mind's eye? what other option do 

we have, than to choose to live vicariously through

those reedy dances of our counterfeit dreams?
