Olympic Towers

Olympic Towers

Standing
At South Beach;
no,
not the one
in Miami—
this is what
you see
looming over
endless piles of driftwood
when you turn
your head
to the left.

Oh, having
a zoom lens
on your camera
helps,
too.

I could stay here
all day
and try to capture
the parade of colors
that bounce off this
snow-draped
mountain range.

The palette shifts
depending
on the slant
of the sea
and the mood
of the clouds.

Light
is a paintbrush
and this
is visual music.
