In the lagoon

for Oedipus

The blind king no longer hides 

and by midday light finds every corner. 

Perceiving players and plots unite, 

the inevitability of truth, at sundown 

the king declares all is well and vanishes.

In the east the color red
promises new beginnings and prosperity,
brighter versions energetic,
darker ones elegant and powerful.
