Nogales Marketplace Shadows — Photo-Artistry by kenne

Handmade crafts in dark passageways

Damn me not I make a better fool

Just killing time, not looking to buy

In the tourists’ area of Nogales, Sonora

Where a horde of voices and unwed girls

Keep trying to get my attention as I 

Think about a poem I will never write

Of delight that binds us from birth to death.

  1. I quite like those concluding four lines:

    Where a horde of voices and unwed girls
    Keep trying to get my attention as I
    Think about a poem I may never write
    Of delight that binds us from birth to death.

    Excellent! I’d consider (you may have too) changing that “may never” to “will never” — even if you did write the poem!
