A poem

In a lonely little restaruant close to the beach of Porto

A Sardine proudly hangs in the blue sky

And its hard-earned crown floats gracefully above

And so too the wood, burning in the air.

The boats gently bob in the afternoon breeze.

the two-dimensional fisherman calmly mends his net

Oblivious to the gaze of the Kiwi

Bright lights and the scent of Sardines

Mark the spot where Europe finally fades into the sea.
