Windy City Dreams

Today's Friday photo is from from a visit last fall.  It's my kind of town.


It was Carl Sandburg's kind of town too.

Carl Sandburg
Chicago Poems 1916

          Joy
LET a joy keep you.
Reach out your hands
And take it when it runs by,
As the Apache dancer
Clutches his woman.
I have seen them
Live long and laugh loud,
Sent on singing, singing,
Smashed to the heart
Under the ribs
With a terrible love.
Joy always,
Joy everywhere—
Let joy kill you!
Keep away from the little deaths.
