``I caught in a second look;
a child who slept
with his cheek on the pavement.``

Very nice.

DEAR OMER,
well........i really think this was a nice piece.i liked your description of places but, you could have used a bit simpler language in the first para.

Omar:

Where the footpath is drenched in darkness
in the quarters of light,
and look at the market across

when it burns suffocatingly with the friction of money
changing hands,

excellent description!

the first para though could be delt with in simpler language, but then again, it`s your piece. i found the way you described intricate details quite interesting. keep us posted with more...

Omar:
This is `almost` perfect. And in the almost lies its strength...that sense of trying to get somewhere, in a marketplace, in life, within oneself...it is a constant struggle. And it came through. Almost...:)
