Five Trees • by Madhur Anand 1

Hamilton Arts & Letters   Brooklyn, February 25, 2019. Miles of warehouses. Contents hidden behind foreign scripts. Brown cardboard boxes marked Beauty Supplies awaiting entry. I will not lie, I thought about stealing. Not for the beauty, for the supplies. Miles of free street art. A painted Black boy was not looking at us through the real tree. Painted people climbed the neck of a giraffe, a ladder to the bright blue sky. Skeletons upon skeletons. Til death do we part. Everything slant, slanted. One of these claims is a lie.  [  >>>>>  FORWARD ]   + [Distillate © HA&L + Madhur Anand {from the Greek bios} -- the course of a life.]
