I am but a foreigner
at Foreigner Cafe
waiting on one
who waits for an answer
from the oracle
sequestered
in a knapsack
at my feet
We seek secrets
in a wild collage
of moons and moai
squeezed between
avocado toast
and mochas
nearby waits
a traveler
fresh and ready
to venture out into the wide world
as if pausing for permission
leaves us to wonder
whether a woman
living alone
on the distant hill
wills
us
forward
into our life
Am I
that woman
I am
* Moai - monolithic human figures carved by the Rapa Nui people on Rapa Nui (Easter Island)

“Tarot And Tiki Hut (restaurant and bar)”…nope, the old ones would have one of those statues headbutt me and it would be all over.
