And think: she wanted storms. The rim
Of the sky will be the colour of hard crimson,
And your heart, as it was then, will be on fire.

This post is teeming with such beauty. Simple little things that induce a smile -- the pigeons on the bench, the rain splatters on the pavement, the slight discoloration of a rain dampened coat...
ReplyDeleteWhat a powerful bit of poem. I'm eager to read more. Isn't it so satisfactory to read such startling (in a good sort of way) words and feel them, see them?
Oh these photos are so lovely. They make me feels so happy inside, espcially cheery on this freezing morning! x
