West Coast Image

A good, longtime, friend of mine sent this photo to me - taken from his cellphone. I am in love with it.

I think of him often, without heartbreak, as ours is an unspoken commitment of kinship.
This image is from the younger brother I never had. and it's poem is building within me as we speak...

    Such beauty -- and casual cruelty. :-) A snapshot clearly taken by someone standing outdoors -- probably without boots on! And a hat? Hell no! He doesn't need to wear a hat!! He was smart! Moved to California!

    Man. This winter's gotten long, hasn't it?

    Greetings from Mpls,
