Renhai Reflections 82: Against the Cold


Against the Cold

A Renhai by Vaughn Seward (vs) & Betty Kaplan (bk)
Written: April 16-20, 2008

Mountain hut —
we huddle around the one
cooking pancakes. /vs

Sheltered under a bridge — /vs
a homeless man finding warmth. /bk

Cold winter night —
she protects the outside plants
with plastic. /bk

I agree with Betty - 'finding' is more emotive. Your notes are a useful addition.
