Mar 2016
spinning to
     infinity
illuminating
     indiscriminate
gently warning
    ships at sea
by mirrored glow
            on steady tree
an old man sits
  hands worn with polish
       waiting, absentminded
loneliness enhanced
by the quiet night
    lost in thought
and carried away
         by the tone
               of crashing waves–
I have a dear friend who does painting and we are going to do some collaborative work. She will be leaving 2 inch wide, 7 inch long washed-out space on the edges of paintings so I can write a poem to fit with the theme. This is the first of these.
