Now, HERE, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!

Reflection
The building opposite
so flat, dull, dun colored
made for utility not beauty,
except its many windows
are pools of still water
suspended like banners
giving back the sky
and her clouds
and the bare branches reaching
how are we to know
ReplyDeletewant sky wants
when the ground
underneath our feet
sinks lower into
the wet, muddy peat?
Wow! I love it!
ReplyDeleteme too, love it.
ReplyDeleteHzar, I think you must steep yourself in poetry. Smokey tea from the orient. :)
ReplyDeleteLara and Terri - thanks much!
