| When I had the sunset
band to what seemed like... 910 |

When I had the sunset
band to what seemed like the right depth - it was
dying fast now - I grabbed the orange and shaded
more, and heavierThen I went back to the ship,
not thinking, just putting a series of angular
black lines on my paper
When I was done, it was almost full dark
86
To the left, the three palms clattered
Below and beyond me - but not so far beyond now,
the tide was coming back in - the Gulf of Mexico
sighed, as if it had had a long day and there was
more work to do yet
Overhead there were now thousands of stars, and
more appearing even as I looked
This was here all the time, I thought, and
recalled something Melinda used to say when she
heard a song she really liked on the radio: It had
me from helloBelow my rudimentary tanker, I
scratched the word HELLO in small lettersSo far
as I can remember (and I'm better at that now), |
