we come to a fork

    Love the precision of the imagery, and how the poem stops right when the conversation does. Brilliant work.

    Beautiful ku filled with many layers of image and interpretation.

    rock surface –
    she hardens her
    point of view

    ona uvrš?uje svoje
    gledište

    the softness

    baby talk
    I silently watch
    blooming buds
