Castro Marina

Acquaviva September 2019

longer

each breath longer

than the breath before

the sea rises

rises

and falls

fresh water springs split

white rock fissures

swirling sparkling arrows

sharp ice pale blades

splinter velvet salt

silence falls

azure enchantment

eyes open wide

the paradise is sea

Three places, three meals

Porridge. Honey. Nuts.
Jet engines in the background.
Small bubble of calm.

Lagoon risotto.
Tourists lost along canals.
Holiday begins.

Fisherman catches,
his wife and sons are cooking.
Now we feel at home.
