Bosco is a sailor.

In the modern navy, bosco refers to a boatswain, a master of maneuvers.

 

He knows the techniques, the ropes, the precise, repetitive work.

 

His face is resting on his fist. A gesture of reflection, of resilience.

 

His gaze is steady, accustomed to the horizon.

He is there, in his role, with what time has done.
