Scavengers
Father and son,
streetlight shining
on upturned lids
of garbage
cans
...
mine adds nothing.

Thanks, Caio. I feel the same way. I think your paintings might help unlock some dusty passages in my brain.
In solch wenigen Worten hast du wieder so sehr viel gesagt...
das gefällt mir sehr, dieses weiter denken müssen, weil der Inhalt noch lange nicht mit diesen kleinen Worten erschöpft ist...
Alles Liebe, Rachel
In such a few words, thou hast said again so very much...
that like me very, this wide must think, because the content long not these small words is exhausted...
All love, Rachel
Dear Rachel, thank you as always for your kind assessment. Your feeling for words is an inspiration.
Hi William,
Just like Caio, I want to thank you for mentioning me in your Recently Linked sections.
The imagery of this poem is stunning and vivid. I like it a lot; I am a bit fan of concise poetry.
Thanks, Jenny, I appreciate that very much. Poetry or prose, I do try to spend as few words as possible. Or, to put it another way, I heed those with the sincerest, most urgent demands.
Meanwhile, I take great pleasure in artists and poets like you and Caio, who mix languages and go about things differently. You start the mind in new and different directions — something we all need, I think — and for that I’m always grateful.
Bravo !
Incredible imagery. I liked it !!
Glad to have stumbled onto your space sir ..
Thank you, and I’m glad you stumbled in....
