#2078 - summer glare

summer glare

ekphrastic for Tom Roberts’ 1888 ‘Holiday Sketch at Coogee’

 

salt glitter!

the sea may have ‘its pearls’

 

the bright sand draws

it’s time retired

 

frock along

and brolly under

 

there’s every fond illusion here

bent to the shade we make

 

glare makes ghostly

the top hat cheering crowd

 

a track makes away with the hill

with the day

 

tree spindly as the last thing thought

 

a beach is carved from stone

 

beyond these waves not far lies home
