Salt
horizon

The coast is sold as leisure. Walk toward the part that still works. Nets, paint, a boat on blocks, a man mending what the night tore. That is the unnamed shore.

Glare is a teacher. If you cannot look at the water, you are standing at the wrong hour.

Come at first pale or at the copper minute. Midday is a white room with no furniture. If you swim, treat the water as weather, not as a pool with a view.

Do not hunt a private stretch as if the sea were a room you can book. Share the line. Leave no plastic punctuation on the sand.

Eat fish where the grill is already lit for people who will still be here in winter. Ask for the catch, not for a dish invented for travellers.
