el 06-Jul-2011 | Kareem Fahim reports from a rebel checkpoint outside of Tripoli:
The people fleeing Tripoli on Thursday said that several neighborhoods filled with the sound of gunfire every night. At checkpoints throughout the capital, they said, paramilitaries from the dreaded People?s Guard carried long lists of wanted men. The gas lines were five days long.
The refugees say that Tripoli?s rebels defiantly paint their flags on anything that will spread their message, including pigeons, cats and balloons. That's an image I'd have expected more from a China Mieville novel than from war reportage, but it's beautiful and perfect. The rebel flags attached to feral pigeons and cats and balloons captures the tenuous state of things, but also the hope and ingenuity of people seeking freedom.
Hope, they say, is the thing with wings. Or fleas. Or taut, fragile rubber shell, buffeted by the winds. Read the comments on this post...

| Happy Poetry Month! | | April being National Poetry Month, I'll let you entertain yourself with this poem by Robert Frost:
War Thoughts at Home
On the back side of the house
Where it wears no paint to the weather
And so shows most its age,
Suddenly blue jays rage
And flash in blue feather.
It is late in an afternoon
More grey with snow to fall
Than white w [..] Read complete article | | Published 03-Apr-2008 by Thoughts in Chatter
