about

Observations of Greek Island Tinos.

lyrics

some old man is hacking his lungs out
as he rolls a cigarette
birds are all atwitter in the sun
the dogs enjoy the doorways
the shade of empty shops
laundry in the alleys
smells of cooking have begun

sound of a telephone carries through
all the cobbled streets
big sheep abluster in the wind
the children watch a priest
conduct his make-believe
father, son and holy ghost
i pray my soul to keep

empty white sky, almond blossoms
sausages, newspaper and beer
empty blue sea, sails against the olive trees
half-drunken drawing of the pier

i stood in one place for so many hours
that my shadow crept from out beneath my feet
where the walls meet, momentarily
