Description
This is a photo of an overgrown window or perhaps a mirror covered with moss, algae and mud. It was left on the ground in front of the red cottage that is partly visible in the background.........in case you wondered. Sometimes the ugly can be beautiful!
Andrew Rogers has written a beautiful poem for this image:
Wheat frayed across
the threshing floor
like dead, little lightnings
still twitching from heaven's fall.
On the dusty, blue earth heard
crickets, complaining
that they were too young to die.
Their strings fell silent, for
the listening moon was replaced
by Usil's harsher beam.
It was under his gaze
that they died;
dying brittle and grey
in the sun to decay.
By night to blow, and
by night to flake away.
