Hat and Breathing Spell
Breathing is difficult and often I am told
to do it. Breathing can be assisted by flower essence, or five-flower
essence to be specific, and that helps, and also the yoga befriending.
Tiny Stones Scattered on the Road
Lovely as if some dog had lapped them up.
And the other day I met S, a new dog in the neighborhood, with tall
lovely ears and fine wondering eyes. Black as a daisy, young, and he
stepped on the cosmos but it bounced right back up.
Topography with Seven Stones
Once I remember commenting on the
particular blue and someone saying it wasn't. This led to a long line of
years of recognition. Now I can spot cantankerous contrary. The
cantankerous canary.
The Agoraphobic
There should be no word for this, since it
is so common. No one of us wants to go out, to go out of our bodies, at
least at the last, at the last and the end. Or really very few.
Rubbish Bed at the Foot of the Wall
Rubbish grows nicely.
Peasant Door
Well-made, well-rounded, she was something
like a peasant, but she had been in the news. She had been well accused.
We were wondering, and we're sorry, we think she did it.
Shrewd Old Dotard
All he required was a big yellow pail and
he would have been happy, or so he believed. How he obtained it was not
to be our business.
The Albino
In such purity, such light. Somewhere
during birth all the colors just sloughed off. Somewhere in the mother,
then, the colors still remain. And another child shall have them, twice
as much of them, and look as sweet as the albino.
High Points of Marriage
You'd better just watch out because the
high points are all low. What I mean is, they are high, but they do not
always appear so. Like this morning; I wished you had not pulled up the
shade.
The Flower Crusher
Unforgivable at the time, and yet somehow
I've forgotten. I got dressed up, even with a black short skirt, and I
went to the den of the lawyer. I was left all alone with a rose until the
lawyer came down.
Debonair Individual
You were. You might still be. I have
photos.
Flowers and Viscera of Earth
The two are inextricably intertwined. S
speaks of G and N as being terribly in love and I think she means this: G
and N are together and speak of it kindly.
Beard Map
Impossible to read a beard map through the
hair. The map is in the beard or the beard is over the map. What is the
use of it? Unless you go nowhere.
