A haziness obscures the horizon
as I look for boats and islands
on the Mediterranean Sea, or
more precisely at them for no
other reason than to fix my eye
on some thing to avoid getting
sunk in the blue that sings
like silent radio waves: I, blissed
and untutored in the science
of sunlight and reflection.
