Photo: One of hundreds of photos taken in the Blue City. The complexity of the scenery that we notice sometimes seems to be a reflection of the complexity of our own emotions. 

It was always about that/

(the knotted emotions, imprisoned at the back of the throat)/,

in the wee hours of the morning, in our long conversations/

at the end of the bed, in the curvature of our backs/,

Shivering in the half-light of the day and the soul/
