A Stranger Came And Talked About Iceland by Liliana E. Guzmán

Poet Liliana E. Guzmán paints the scenery of Iceland.
A doubled cut sky interrupted by mountains
the layer of early hues then blended by cotton
Shadows that meet under the ocean overlap
as ocean nudges forward then back against itself
Like wind that stays all nervously howling
with strong breezy hoots that make it a good day
Stacked rubble creating shelves for themselves
with a cold sweat glittering over the sickly stone bush
Still sand that’s been sitting through miles of time
is hit will fallen light that comes from the popped sun
Lifted moisture softens my chapped skin
—this is the new way for sealife to live
As peripheral vision cuts the landscape short,
the blinds of a blink compact what it could be
