Soft Geometry
someone’s gotta watch,
ill-qualified though I am,
these dusks and blue dawns
* * *
soft geometry
in fresh snow, clean for a while
a view of the heart
* * *
this dust on my floors
same as what buries cities
under more cities

Heart soothing lines
Beautifully said.
lines devoted to the seven-hill city which cradles all the dearest ones, both alive and “”ceased to be.”
