From my shattered vase
I draw one brittle shadow
to burnish morning.

      I did! Last night on a walk near the cemetery, there it was. A lot of debris blows across the desert from that little cemetery. Good thing the bodies are buried deep! (Just to reiterate what I said to someone previously: I don’t set up shots; what you see is what I saw when I stumbled across it.)

    Another treat of image and words. I love the way you always manage to put the two together. Thank you 🙂

    Was it difficult, I wonder, to keep that brittle shadow from shattering in your hand?

    It gives me hope, somehow, that a burnished morning could be gleaned from such a vase as this!

    Strong picture! First association: shattered dreams sound much like childhood dreams. Second association: I imagine The Bride (Kill Bill) to come around the corner right away.

    Very nice captured. I admire how you always manage to keep it close to your home.
