The brilliance of the light dazzled the sandy beach

Every shadow exposed the underworld of the town

People were swimming in the sea in October

And sunbathing on the sea steps

A cast iron man of about my height

Was perched on some outlying rocks

Near the gallery of art

He was awaiting the invasion of the tide

I was sitting on a bench

Today I was orange green and yellow

People photographed me without permission

But I did not care as I was enjoying their illumination
