Stillness

by Ion Corcos

Offerings remain
sprawled on the road,
white rice to appease

the gods, soiled black
with dirt and exhaust
fumes from rumbling

mopeds, cars, trucks,
shoe-prints indented
on white and grey

a remnant of ash
from an incense stick
placed by pious hands

a frangipani

small petals uncurled
its centre yellow
the residue of the sun.

Ion Corcos has been published in Lake City Lights and The Greensilk Journal, and upcoming in Message in a Bottle. Ion loves travelling
and has recently spent many months in Greece and Turkey. He lives with his partner, Lisa, in a small villa by the sea at Sapphire Beach.
