in the mosquito’s
buzz, a thread of thought
begins in my mind

come to an end:

lost in the woods –
only the sound of a leaf
falling on my hat

climb this tree
and you’ll be a she-devil –
red leaves in the sunset glow

fade into dark –
falling cherry petals

Day 10: For this assignment, I chose to photograph the front entrance of The University Center for the Arts at Colorado State University. This building was built in 1924 and served as the Fort Collins High School until 1995.

A broken dream –
where do they go
the butterflies?
