I found photos of mummy bees.

Walking,

I gaze at

cypresses.

Sometimes, when I pass these trees, 

I am tempted to reach into the skies as they do.

I grow older, shift my thoughts.

Krishnamurti rejoiced in his blank mind,

easily learned languages.

I follow a lizard tail peeking from under my terrace rail.

Cauda-de-andorinha (Papilio machaon),

Large and yellow

appears in the high blue sky 

near the white crescent moon.

The studio is a room of ships,

of moments afloat.

My mind is a harbor,

full of departures and arrivals.

you keep working

at looking

you keep working

at seeing
