back against the mirror,
the man only stands there, staring
for the fogged window.

lengthy procession-
the file of black shambles
through the silent quay

candles flickering-
salt breathes in this orange light
against booming waves.

waiting for the rain
I watch the cat step outside
to step back inside.

lost in the sea,
sunlight dwindles down currents,
stops in the fish's eye.
