so much as

I’d have opened
the black pine door.

weekly photo challenge: ephemeral
Although the wind
blows terribly here,
the moonlight also leaks
between the roof planks
of this ruined house.

for rejecting this floating world
and drifting away as the wind calls them?

For this photo assignment I have included two versions of the motion blur image taken during this past weekend’s St. Patrick’s celebration in Old Town. I generally prefer street and motion blur in black and white…yet, the color image with the green and purple does give the image a bit of pop.
