April 4th, 2012 – Blue bioluminescent plankton at a beach in Mancora, Peru. At the location where the wave breaks hardest the white rough foam at the edge becomes a deep bright blue. As the breaking wave grows the blue spreads, albeit dampening as it gets further away. Breaking waves that are far away to the right seem to be brighter or maybe the waves seem bluer because the darkness of the background is so uniform over there? Apart from clouds, the only thing visible in the sky is a faint moon behind a cloud.
One
A powerful slap
Awakens
Roars and blows
Blue spit
Gradual
Calm
Two
From a great distance
A blue tube
Growing sideways in both directions from
A blue sphere
At a constant rate
Three
I shine when my neighbors shine
My neighbors shine when a few of their neighbors shine
Those neighbors shine when their world tremors
Their world tremors when the moon insists
