“Life in Deadly Times”

I am holding my phone At my front window, . I am taking a picture and I am cropping the picture, afterward On my phone. . I am looking at the picture And all it illustrates such as A tree with new apple blossoms, Half-formed April grass and some Lilting Spring leaves on the Budding […]
