Scrap 1 - Surplice

In the cavernous presence of Pilar

One confessional sits slightly ajar

A surplice enticingly set

Like the haunch of Benavente’s

Ambiguous hooker

 

Scrap 2 - Buzzards

Buzzards wheel in an empty sky

and time passes by
 

I feel like that sky sometimes
 

It would be a deceit

if I said that I don’t know why

 

Scrap 3 - Dreams

Follow your dreams, people say

But most of the time it’s the other way

The dreams keep following me

 

Scrap 4 – Trees

The cathedral crumbles above the trees

The Church is out to lunch

Two girls read end-to-end upon the fountain wall

The children have been called home

The flies have become still

Nothing's moving on earth except the breeze

Great idea - scraps. But they still have a  structure. 2 and 3 seem more introspective and 1 and 4 a snapshot of what you see. When I read them they seemed like a short brief, each for a short story/scene which put together make a whole. But I guess the relaxing thing about scraps is not having to persue them in that way. I enjoyed them.

Thank you Catherine. I'm really glad. I didn’t really know what to do with them, but was worried the ideas might become cumbersome. Thanks for reading and commenting.
