his life and mine

i can't seem to get over the fact that the Pittsburgh of my youth is gone forever. the snippet of poetry on the page is from the poem "Refusing Heaven" by Jack Gilbert, about the 'Burgh.

He will not abandon his life.
Not his childhood,
not the ninety-two bridges
across the two rivers of his youth.
Nor the mills
along the banks where he became a young man
as he worked.
The mills are eaten away,
and eaten
again by the sun and its rusting.
He needs them
even though they are gone,
to measure against.

Such fantastic art!!! I alway remember when you were describing Pittsburgh to me and I looked blank until you said "have you seen the Deer Hunter?" - then I got it! :)
 
So amazing, Phylis! Love the way you have treated the photo. The old Pittsburgh is alive with warmth and light at least in your art.
 
Phylis this is art! I don't have words to describe! It is funny how the older I get the less I am liking change! Just stunning!
