Palacio de Vilallon

Memories of the Museo -

From sunlight to shade -

A quiet courtyard -

Slender arches -

The echo of a proud name -

The grace of the stone -

June 2026 

After the exhibition

Nibbling a meringue as light as air -

Glimpsing creatives in crumpled suits -

Dazed still by what I'd seen -

The woman with a yellow blouse -

The smooth face of a tyrant -

The strangeness of a painting in blue -

Archipelago 

Sunol Soler Collection 

June 2026

My body felt the movement of the waves -

I saw fish of all kinds on icy beds -

Glistening coils of octopus -

Sad gangs of monkfish with drooping mouths -

Silvery pyramids of anchovies -

Swordfish, tuna -

Tangles of sardines -

Under the high roof, I smelled the sea -

My body felt the movement of the waves -

The Fish Market

Malaga

This last afternoon

This last afternoon -

Remembering the white gate -

The turquoise sea -

The sky -

The fragments of the shell I found on the beach -

Smooth against my fingers -

Safe in my hand -

June 2026 

Beguiled by the names we found

There were lime trees shading the square -

The air was scented by flowers -

There was birdsong -

Water fell from a fountain -

We were in a village in the dry hills -

Beguiled by the names we found -

Calle del Sol -

Plaza de Flores -

Deep Song

Such anguish - 

Such yearning - 

So much pain and beauty in those voices -

Wrenching my heart -

Deep Song -

From the soul laid bare -

Teatro Flamenco Malaga Club

June 2026 

Walking after sunset

A crescent moon in a dark blue starless sky -

Waves breaking upon the empty beach -

Earlier, just before sunset, I'd seen swifts -

Beautiful whirling shapes in the air-

I could smell woodsmoke -

Still feel salt upon my skin -
