The disease of the Carolinas

Smaller text sizeDefault text sizeBigger text size Add to my bookshelf epub mobi Permalink MapFlorida
In a trailer beside the river
clustered by strange dreams
of wildflower and willow
my feet are stuck to this humid tar.
How will I follow you down
on highways the saints deliver
to Florida’s golden peninsula? Sara.
And the nights are humid and brown,
their breath is a wheeze against a dew damp pillow
that dreams of a distant star.
Yet sure on that pathway I will
pull my feet from the mortal ground
and swallow the world like a pill.

How to add an image to this work

Besides sending your opinion about this work, you can add a photo (or more than one) to this page in three simple steps:

  1. Find a photo related with this text at Flickr and, there, add the following tag: (machine tag)

    To tag photos you must be a member of Flickr (don’t worry, the basic service is free).

    Choose photos taken by yourself or from The Commons. You may need special privileges to tag photos if they are not your own. If the photo wasn’t taken by you and it is not from The Commons, please ask permission to the author or check that the license authorizes this use.

  2. Once tagged, check that the new tag is publicly available (it may take some minutes) clicking the following link till your photo is shown: show photos ...

  3. Once your photo is shown, you can add it to this page:

Even though Badosa.com does not display the identity of the person who added a photo, this action is not anonymous (tags are linked to the user who added them at Flickr). Badosa.com reserves the right to remove inappropriate photos. If you find a photo that does not really illustrate the work or whose license does not allow its use, let us know.

If you added a photo (for example, testing this service) that is not really related with this work, you can remove it deleting the machine tag at Flickr (step 1). Verify that the removal is already public (step 2) and then press the button at step 3 to update this page.

Badosa.com shows 10 photos per work maximum.
