Behind the Painting

The first painting of the New Year.

Behind ballfields and train tracks and industrial buildings, a winding path leads to an asphalt pier.

The edge of New York Harbor is marked by mossy rocks and pale sky.

Just offshore, ships silently wait to unload their cargo.

Birds circle above, or float in the almost still water.

The Hudson separates the towers of New York and Jersey City.

The skyline is a blue mirage.
