i don't like it when i have to explain images
but while the previous image
speaks volumes without words
this one does not

this is my corner
it's a neighborhood that is here
but is going there

in the foreground,
that graphic on the wall depicts 2 tombstones
in honor of 2 who died

that green container collects discarded clothes
they are destined for other countries
i don't think they are given away
i think they are actually sold
so i am not sure how i feel about that green thing

there are a lot of "issues" in this community
and ever since i moved here
i've been involved with trying to address them
it's part of the reason i am so exhausted
there are a LOT of issues
and it's a LOT of work

but i have grown from it
and that's my part in helping it to go "there"
down the block
where the trees are
