Returning Valentine

Take the ferry to Aegina
when you return at last
maybe at the end of your life
bringing colored pencils
and good paper so you
can sketch the coastline again
as you approach and see
if you can find the Temple
of Aphaea’s amber columns
hidden among pines and scrub
on that hilltop where you
can spread a blanket
on the ground and sleep for
centuries or more.
