the sketch

a shaded line
can be illuminating
by adding layers
of surrounding shadow,
notes of a harpsichord
permeating the evening air
peaks of poles at attention,
the masts rendered
with single strokes
of pencil.
drawn in this light,
the shadows fall out of frame
and out on to the floor
that once was a harbor.
