Cortes Real, Paderne

Incessant chatter
Out among the dry trees
In the acres
Of interminable scrub

A life’s work: of space
Colours, hues; backdrops
Of washed-white walls
For giclée prints and
Idiosyncratic objet d’art

Above me, as a shade
A triangular canvas
Suggestive of the voyages
Of more adventurous
Portuguese artists
