SNOWDROPS

Do you know what I was, how I lived? You know 
what despair is; then
winter should have meaning for you.

I did not expect to survive,
earth suppressing me. I didn't expect 
to waken again, to feel
in damp earth my body
able to respond again, remembering 
after so long how to open again in the cold light
of earliest springβ€”

afraid, yes, but among you again
crying yes risk joy

in the raw wind of the new world.

Is that the same dust as old cocaine or different?

If I wake up late is that early now?

Son of immigrant parents.
I wonder what his mum and dad think.
What on earth happens to a person like this to pal up with racists?
Does he actually believe they don’t hate him too?
Something so broken in a man like this.

Great post. I just love your photos of the beautiful Glaswegian architecture combined with the history. A very sad story in this case. Thank you for your time and effort.

Exquisite leaded-glass work of art featuring beautifully realised fish.

I post this every year, and see no reason to stop now. Glasgow's very own Brian James Waugh somehow creates these breathtaking leaded glass masterpieces with alarming regularity, and I just want to say I love 'em. That is all.
