art, fountains, horns, Indiana, Indianapolis, instruments, listening, photography, poetry, sculpture, sound, tanka, walking, water, water falls

I smile broadly

At one, then another

And another…

This fascination with faces

Smiling back

the sound of music in the water fountain water falling...

the sound of music
in the water fountain
water falling…
