a new mourning

in my dreams we tear the flags
for sole purpose – making rags
to bind the wounds,
to hold the splint.

we break open the tombs –
no fear of our dead
who solemnly hint:

“for mine and your sake;
live for us, raise your head!”

then i awake.

Skopje, Macedonia

Skopje is a city of statues, complete and total overload.
In the central square spinning around you can see dozens, covering several styles and materials.
Most of thenm have been added in the past few years – likewise the grand buildings along the riverside.

There’s also lots of flags here. I dont think i was anywhere without being able to see one or two nearby.

Interesting place indeed.

Folded money

Some more practice needed … but this is gonna be my new favorite way to leave a tip.
Shame there’s not a one euro note, the low value of Serbian dinar notes makes this easier hehe
