Fallen Log

Leaf 287 – Reflections

 

Felix Edouard Vallotton - Evening on the Loire (1925)


This poem pairs neatly with Leaf 286. I suppose in some ways it acts as a kind of photo-negative mirror image of that poem. A slightly different sort of meditation, focused more on when things cease to flow, because there are always moments in time when – for whatever reason – we get left behind, or choose to let things part around us and pass us by.
