THE FIRST LAND — (after weeks, a coast:1.2) an old salt who remembers the last war — in salt-crusted wool and tarred canvas, at the rail — teaching a newcomer the knots as a cove reachable only at high tide comes into view. dead calm and heat shimmer clearing; nothing but haze and glare wide; wistful for a shore never seen wistful for a shore never seen. (Bow-on composition, deck in the foreground, land a blue band ahead). an 85mm at f/2 for the captain's portrait, symmetry along the deck's length. BREAK the wheel's spokes in soft focus the rail and foresail; boards silvered by salt, the companionway worn hollow the wet deck; a dog barking at the water, a ship's cat on a hatch, a rat running a hawser line land birds arriving first. clouds stacked to the far edge the coast and its hills. a tin cup dented many times, a scrap of foreign flag, a bullet stopped by a logbook, a dog-eared Bible with the pages cut, salt crusting every buckle BREAK a lantern's reflection on wet decks, coins catching lantern light, phosphorescence in the wake the whole bright sea. (ship landfall, hope, maritime painting:1.2) grainy period photograph, sepia toned.
