Are you at work
On a boat bobbing across the bay
On this day of white skies
Are your brushes
Again all covered in blue
The blue of the cleaner seas
Of the warmer skies
Of summer all over springtime
On this day of northern weather
Are your peninsulas sultry
Your sunrises painted to oblivion
The certainty of unclear horizons
Of faithful merged occupations
Of time; daylight all over the night
In Memory
of the Cornish Artist John Miller
