In this light, our amber
sunset, Bonnieux has

all the hallmarks of a
Costa Concordia, or an

abandoned container
ship, anchored in some

forgotten delta, where
alluvial silting caused it

to causticly corrode into
an oxidised monstrosity.
Bonnieux is a perched village
in Provence, with a N.W. aspect.
From Lacoste which is S.E. facing,
the optical metaphor as described
in the poem, is quite visible at sunset.
