Unyielding clear light

Angry sun beats alley rat

Into dark shadows

Waffle cone, point up

Melting chocolate ice cream

Concrete stained with tears

Laughing, mud-caked child

Huge bite of juicy melon

Smiling cheeks dripping

Sparrow feeds her chicks

Nest atop tilted ladder

Foreman thinks of home

Speckled willow shade

Sleeping woman, book on chest

Sunburnt arms and face

Cool and thin dusk air

Stay a while, here, with me

By fireflies’ light

As most of my fellow pseudonymous Substack Notes users already know, last month we lost Koshmarov, one of our own. Kosh was a poster’s poster, a complete maniac, constantly online, endearing, charming, unpredictable, entirely himself. I miss him dearly and remember him fondly. May he rest easy.
