Shadows of New York by Francisco Bravo Cabrera

One day I sat and listened to the choirs of Babel.
It took me back to when I painted shadows in New York
which cast skyscrapers high above your garden.
And I wondered if an island, in the seas of nowhere,

and has that made you forget me?

Did you forget the sailing trips?
Was it because Manhattan’s winds destroyed your jib?...
