a broadsheet
is a landscape
for dreams––
an empty theater
just waiting
to play.
here
is space
for a river––
there belongs
a street
& a tower.
the actors
are unseen
until we
summon them
to make history.
a broadsheet
is the open sky
of shakepeare’s
mind.
the director
creates meaning
& order––
provides
a mirror
for seeing
ourselves––
& for understanding
how we fit
together
like a handshake.
robert & alison
had the courage
to found
a neighborhood
& create
a community
to capture
the beauty
of the comings
& goings
of steamships––
of people
& the epics
of their lives.
they taught us
to see ourselves
as we are––
& the brilliance
of our future
if we would
make it so.
a photographer, a
writer, an editor, a
journalist, a director,
a producer, a
watchmaker––
robert taught us
about our togetherness––
about our single
beating heart––
he performed
on a stage
of possibility
& of loving
potential.
