Nazaré, Portugal
Streets of Lisboa
of São Martinho do Porto
of Óbidos
of Nazaré
overlay anthropic order
onto old geology, stone upon stone
settled, as in settlement
hands and tools smooth stucco
paint sunlight and shadow
yellow, pink, blue
a million black and white blocks
sand mortared and solid along
the paths and tracks of intention
we tread, slide
always to the sea
to rock and sand
to crash and wave
to setting sun and
the Portuguese Atlantis
