When you have only two pennies left in the world, buy a loaf of bread with one, and a lily with the other. --Chinese Proverb

Christina's World
[after the painting "Christina's World" by Andrew Wyeth]
A torn body come to rest,
beached on a uphill slope
and with a sigh
the heart's hope
twists towards the high horizon.
