In the Absence – a Boat named Hope
No moon tonight. The voracious belly
of the sea nurses on dreams
and meat. A boat forgiven
is tainted by shadows
while furrowing the waters.
The promised destiny is distant.
A woman’s face suspended
in the absence. Behind
the taste of home and native land.
Disdainful beaches
tomorrow.

Sudden Sunset
An orange gesture loosens
the entangled sea, suddenly
lighting up the blue.
The space is pause and desert
until time expands
the sense.
Beyond the slope, a green
blanket.
