I have not yet mastered the craft of words.  It may be too late now.  I forked off that road some twenty-five years ago.  Why do i think I can still find it?  Why does 500 miles remind me of my writing?

She walks pail and mop in hand in front of me.  Her smooth face stretched by the way she’s pursed her lips.  She does not look at me though I search the side of her face for any sign of acknowledgment that I exist.

My wife is in the private baths where the sulfur infused water is cleaning her skin.  I had to pay extra for the private room because she forgot her swimsuit.  She had it in her hands, but somehow did not bring it with her.  I did not notice either.

Soufriere, where the sulfur air combines with sea-salt and cleanses you inside out.  She is tall, probably six feet.  Is she wondering what I am writing?  I look up above my glasses and catch her eyes before she disappears into the room where my wife is bathing.  I have no idea what to make of it.

The garden is seething with plants.  I take pictures
