Vettriano Musings

surreal
      fragments
from the past
visual 
          encounters
           with dark fantasies
plots
   without dialogue
small drama
with
       strangers
on the
seashore

coincidences 
chimed
     in passion
           desire
           & indulgences
in virtue&
             vice

pursued 
     by umbrellas
      &trilbies
by ladies
        of the night
in mackintoshes &
                           braces

meditations
  in
     sunshine
reflections
   in
      mirrors
of bowlers&
beaches

melancholia
       in moments
               of colour
veiled
  in the enigmatic
longings
for yesterday
                     today
in nostalgic
      roads
       to nowhere
of quietudes
in hidden
    stylistic
       wistfilled
          narratives
