Descent



Slow, surreal, spirals
They slide in a long descent
Toward the killing fields

Toward the killing fields
In a long descent they slide
Spirals: slow, surreal



Our three words were: descent, kill, surreal

  4. It's really fascinating how the two poems intersect, actually coming from different angles. Well, done!

  5. Fabulous links between photos and words, and a perfect example of the difference in meanings when one's words are "twisted." Great writing!
