Siesta - posthumous
I am happy to be rags,
a patchwork man, a tatter
tittering in sleep.
I am dream-soaring,
jazz snoring solos
to the company I keep.
I failed geometry,
I won't bisect a square,
I don't care for math.
I am asymptotic
to the city, gritty
on the grid, ace of wrath.
Solitary Vista - meanwile
What more do I need than an arm to shield me,
shield me from the brick?
What more do I want than the sun to shine,
warming me to the quick?
November, she left me, left me alone,
left me alone to grieve.
I lie like a shadow, crumpled in place
with far too much air to breathe.

| Subtle. The irregularity of the human form in this composition with such defined straight lines (stones and light distribution) makes the human stand out very well. 10 |

| Strange title for a difficult and quite painful image: there is little sense of rest here. I like it very much - the astringent lines of the composition work very effectively with his apparent disorganisation. |

I'm not much for receiving or giving comments, but since Candids are near and dear to my heart, I have decided to give comment on every entry in this challenge.
Wow, so much dead space. It's a good candid. Too bad you couldn't get closer in on him so I could reach in and feel the emotion and the story. It's just too obscure. I gave it a 3. |

| Gorgeous. Uncluttered, simple, and impactful all at the same time. Great shot. |
