Poems

Horizon

Instinctual stretch
Paraphrasing the parallels
Sand, ocean, sky
Standing close enough
To inhale the infinite.

Photo description: A thin band of ocean divides a rectangle of pale beach from a rectangle of powder blue sky. Sand waves ripple and puffs of cloud drift by. On the horizon stands a figure, a boy aged 15, facing the sea. He wears a wide brimmed hat, white t-shirt and navy shorts. His arms are outstretched like a bird about to fly.
