From
Honolulu
A row of palm trees
is a visual lullaby,
swaying softly, whispering
peace to the shoreline.
Stillness lives where
palms meet the sea.
reminding us how beautiful
it is just to be alive.
Black crowned night heron,
Nycticorax is a genus
of night herons.
The name Nycticorax
means "night raven" and derives
from the Ancient Greek.
There is something quietly
miraculous about a
full moon in the morning sky—
treasure left behind
by the night,
still glowing as
the day-world wakes.
Two worlds, a threshold, the moon escorts us to day.
calm and clear
in the hush of early morn.

Pixie yawns—
a small honest roar,
the day’s first truth.

Club Hubba Hubba was a legendary Honolulu burlesque and strip club that operated from the 1950s until 1997, and today lives on mainly through its iconic neon sign in Chinatown. Opened as Café Hubba Hubba in 1947 and renamed in 1953, it became the Pacific’s premier burlesque venue, famous for jazz, exotic dancers, and a “seedy” but glamorous nightlife scene popular with GIs from WWII through Vietnam. The club closed in 1997 and the interior was remodeled into office space, but the building’s owners restored and kept the neon “Hubba Hubba” sign—designed by notable Honolulu neon bender Robert “Bozo” Shigemura and reinstalled around 2012—which still glows at night on the red-brick building at 25 N. Hotel Street, one of Chinatown’s most photographed landmarks.
I danced at other clubs in town,
but not this one!
