I look up: American sentences Aug. 2013

I look up at the full moon through a cobweb shining from roof to tree. 20/8/13

A dangling leaf begins to turn on its stem: imperceptible breeze.  22/8/13

Not far out of town, the rainforest still edges roads and covers hills.  28/8/13

I pull over, close my eyes, meditate ... falling leaves hit my car, thump. 28/8/13

After the election, Australia boards a train to nowhere.  8/9/13

    Fabulous, kiddo. Oy, re the election. Not sure if you are hearing about the buffoonery in eastern Canada. Embarrassing.

    I like them all - they have a sense of immediacy; yet the craft shows as well. These are very precise and the first ones very delicate. The election one is much in the spirit of Ginsberg's idea.

      Yes, Merkel sounds good!

      Unfortunately I thought I did know what direction the new Govt here would take — and the only surprise is that already it has gone further, faster in that direction than even I could have imagined.
