Zagreb sequence

noon cannon
the pigeons end up
where they started

market stall seller
trading looks
with passers by

The Angelus bell
not even the sun
is up yet

street cafes
we move
from one country to another

Maksimir Park
a red squirrel
scuffs up leaves

main square pigeon
short fluttering flight
just ahead of the child

national park walk
our guide tells us
the same thing again

modern art museum
my wife agrees
to meet me at the door

Mirogoj Cemetry
mourners in black
greet one another
