Our frangipani
trees open their creamy flowers to greet the dawn,
and somehow manage to stay fresh-looking
even in the sweltering heat of the tropical noon-day sun.
During welcomes and farewells and other celebrations,
Fijians pluck the flowers off their stems and thread them
into perfumed 'salusalus' to hang around their necks.
