look at the sun setting over these live-oak hills

colin working along the rows of vines 

colin's grandfather on the terrace

marketa at work correcting papers

colin works along the rows of vines

while i record the events around me

marketa putting down her corrected papers

colin's grandfather sipping his glenlivet

i record the languid events around me

subtle movement among the otherwise still life

such as colin's grandfather sipping glenlivet

or black-headed vultures circling overhead

subtle movement against an otherwise still life

orchestrations of the scene before me

black-headed vultures circling overhead

riding thermals to a rhythm seemingly conducted

as orchestration to the scene before me

conducted by an unseen hand, grace and light

riding thermals in gentle rhythm, seemingly conducted

by her hand, light as a feather, lightness incarnate

conducted by her unseen hand, graceful and light

scoring the scene with strains of imagination

her hand, light as a feather, lightness incarnate

conducting the setting sun over these live-oak hills
