Do you recall
watching waves through
a library window,
where a painter stood
on the edge of the beach
with the afternoon light.
Footprints that walked
towards the plastic inhabited sea,
imagination drawn there
by the coastline’s question
as to where all
the labyrinths of life disappear.
Before leaving the wide frame
he stood there,
a personal composition
that changed under
a resurrected air.
