Thanks Igor for this poetic contribution to my picture.
I much like Ken's Glacier Bay Patterns.

brought up in my mind a poem by Joseph Brodsky "1867" from his poetic
set "Mexican Divertimento".
Talking about turbulent Mexico in 1867, he wrote (my non-poetic
translation from Russian):
"... and every skull in bushes has three eyes...(and a luxuriant tuft
of grass growing from each of them)" (referring to a bullet hole as
the "3rd eye")
Unfortunately, I don't have the English version of it on hand, so, I
don't remember how Brodsky translated this himself.

PS. I've just found some translation by Lev Loseff and Barry Scherr:
... Especially here, in the tropics, where death, alas,
Is being spread like infection by flies
or like a well-turned phrase in a cafe,
and where skulls in the bushes always have three eyes,
with a rank tuft of grass in each."
