My small shirt ...

The warm sea held me close -

Each evening wave washed memory against my skin -

I remembered the rocky shore of the bright island -

Swimming the first time -

Amazed at the miracle -

The clear water -

The ones I loved asking me to follow them -

The dark bread upon the beach -

The church bells ringing -

The cool hall of the stone house -

The courtyard -

My small shirt drying on the branches of the tree -
