ARRIVAL
gray dawn
the gray smell of coal smoke
against gray buildings;
a stranger in a foreign city
will it ever be home?
exploring the streets
the rapid speech of locals
carried in the wind
tentatively I ask
for directions
cold wind down my neck
my string bag bulges
with groceries
at the end of the first day
a lighter step to my walk

__ Your valued relationship Adelaide, of these photos and your tanka, had caused... an old crust... below. _m
as pigeons skip
over this dampened way
an old crust
gives to their daily life
forever hunts
Excellent, I really enjoyed this piece!!
Thank you Magyar for your kind words and tanka.

I loved the art and the poems. This piece makes me want to know more about your adventure.
Thank you Sandy. Once upon a time we lived in Switzerland for almost five years. I'lll have to post some more about that time. By the way, the art work are photos edited with Picassa.

Thank you, gillena. Since I can't draw better than a two year old. I have to use photos and create "art" the digital way.
