Londoners awoke Monday morning to find the city’s Parliament Square, in the shadow of Big Ben, filled with empty life jackets. “Life jacket graveyard” is a tribute to refugees who have drowned trying to come to Europe. The powerful display will not be there for long.

Refugees are not immigrants.  
They don’t choose to leave home.  They flee for their lives.

Maybe if we stopped bombing countries…

WINTER

Not even a single bird flies above
the high mountain peaks stretching off
into the distrance.  Not a trace of human
presence can be detected on the paths.
Only one old fisherman wearing a coir
coat and a leaf hat sits in his little
boat.  He is fishing all alone on the cold river.
