Oil Islands 06:12
The jagged rock wall we wish they’d sink keeps the swells out—away from the harbor and what look like floating pieces of Disneyland, part Vegas resort, part mineral well. Palm trees and unnatural waterfalls hint at serenity. Icy ripples lap the shore, growing stagnant, leaving only glitter-laden storm water for our children to splash in. At night the barges sit on the surface. Stationary bulbs, like careful brushwork, color the substations, a symphony of light. The ocean, a mirror hung before them to admire their shroud of deep indigo, crushed-petal pink and marigold. Lovers hide in shadows, watching from a perch beneath a lifeguard stand, and listen to the water whip. They imagine waves. They consider their place. Moist sand sticks to blue jeans and clammy palms. Warm skin and garments cling tight to bodies. Glow of distant buildings on her cheeks, he basks in the summer air, and her, decisions he doesn’t know he’s making.
