Laid out along the land raised out of the sea
the town is made for walking in the salty air
you sample its wares like a picnic of salads
telescopes line the windows of one shop
another has shoes you wear in the forest
here is a house that used to be on a murder mystery show
there are water towers like lighthouses without lights
my favorite house where I grew up
nearly a hundred fifty miles south
was one with a water tower
inside they had arranged lights into constellations high overhead
this is why my biggest dreams have always been about altering place like that
any space can be that canvas
even the edge of a city parking lot
