I picture them
devouring
the landscape
as if
the landscape
was made
to be
by your needs
consumed.
Your wild eyes
rest
at night
whereas
mine
check
the lights, and the clouds, and the stars
if they are in place
or
if
by some monstrous doing
they have now moved.
The view
this view
the landscape
bring peace
to my mind
my senses
except for
the eyes
that keep looking
even when closed and abandoned under the sun.
When is quiet
and when the winds stop
when all the scents in the atmosphere
are of the water
the water that has poured
and the water
to come
then
all that is to see
from this room with a view
is the lighthouse
the firm end
of the land
the piercing light
in the dark
longing
to be discovered.
March 2024,
Syros.
