What's left




The leaves were raked up not down, Jesus Christ you said, too early and angry I thought, too dry, too old, what's left.

    There is so much power in leaving out details

    Elizabeth, this is really compelling--Kimmie, above, is right. There's such power in this light sketch of a moment.

    So much resonance in so few words. Thanks, Elizabeth.

    Quick glance through the window as I walk by.
    Beautiful. And sad.

    Yes, to others' comments, and also the too tight cropping of the photo ... The chair cut off ... adds to the air of tension. Nicely done.

    The rhythm of your words combined with the taut emotion is wonderful.
