THE FALLING LIME





Lime is falling off the ceiling

in braces

covering the floor

making it white



my mother, stepfather and a brother,

tenants and acquaintances

are loosing the ground

deeper and deeper, through the white layer

and away from the floor

Nikola,
I am fascinated by the fact that people still live in lime stone houses as with adobe and the red clay. I am glad you shared this with us. Thanks. Love, peace and freedom, Linda
