Cities are constructed large And stony on the plain; But the homeless one follows The wind with open forehead, The trees at the hill; Also the afterglowing often fears. Georg Trakl 📷 Mania De Praeter
A black and white photograph of an asphalt path passing a wire fence and bushes, with a solitary, large leafless tree on the right and a person visible from behind on the path.

🌹🤍 And if I have learned nothing else, it is to listen and to love: everyone. A humanitarian, faith in man's potential for good. And a compassion for his weakness, his so-called original sins. World compounded of dualities, and man the compromising angelic devil. Sylvia Plath _ Unabridged Journals
A black-and-white portrait of the American poet and novelist Sylvia Plath.

Another day without lyrics, with an aching chest—people love wise words, but they don't act wisely, that's the true madness. . . . . . . Noch ein Tag ohne Liedertexte, mit schmerzender Brust—Menschen lieben weise Worte, aber sie handeln nicht weise, das ist der wahre Wahnsinn. —Makoto #tanka

Quand le ciel bas et lourd pèse comme un couvercle Sur l'esprit gémissant en proie aux longs ennuis, Et que de l'horizon embrassant tout le cercle Il nous verse un jour noir plus triste que les nuits Baudelaire - Spleen 🎨 Jennifer Allnutt 'Melencolia I'
Still life of a reclining, naked woman with closed eyes on a table, surrounded by a lush bouquet of flowers in shades of pink, red, purple, and blue; a butterfly perches on her wrist. In the background, a dark room with a small, ornate window. Realistic rendering with soft, warm light.

There is a certain unique and strange delight about walking down an empty street alone. There is an off-focus light cast by the moon, and the streetlights are part of the spotlight apparatus on a bare stage set up for you to walk through. Sylvia Plath _ The Unabridged Journals 📷 Leonid Danilov
The black-and-white scene captures a solitary figure in a hooded jacket standing on a wet street at night, silhouetted against glowing streetlights piercing through fog.

Humberto Ak'abal, from IF TODAY WERE TOMORROW (seems a fitting poem for a Sunday morning...) #smallpoemsunday @tomsnarsky.bsky.social
DAWN

Dawn
is a little animal
that comes in noiselessly.

It’s so tiny
it slips under the door.

Now I know what loneliness is, I think. Momentary loneliness, anyway. It comes from a vague core of the self - - like a disease of the blood, dispersed throughout the body so that one cannot locate the matrix, the spot of contagion. [...] Yes, there is joy, fulfillment and companionship - but 👇

Honored to attend a dedication of the mural pieces for the City of Bothell’s Triangle Junction art installation and reconnect with the other artists, city officials and art commission. And… I had a chance to speak about my piece and its relationship to the theme of intersection. #haiku #haiga

Photo I took from the bus. A view of a field. The sky is grey and foggy. There are weeds and thistles growing in places. In the right of the photo, and curving slightly into the middle, are a water trough, a white slatted storage structure. Behind that is a cream van. There are trees on the skyline. There is a wooden fence at the bottom of the photo.
