"Paintings of the Sea"
(for Cynthia Knott)
"It's the same simple story, the sky above, sea below, air resting on water, water upholding the air,
but you could say that love and death are just two stories, too, only each one told a different way.
The difference here is the weather, and how the season and the hour can tint the yellow gray or fleck the green with gold.
But if I stand before one long enough, the names for colors fade away and I stop trying to guess what shore.
I only wonder if a little boat is just about to sail into the frame or is this how the sea looked once
before there were such things as boats, or how it will be, late one afternoon, after all the boats on earth have disappeared."
