Ah, thanks, Doug, I am so glad you liked it, the poet friend who came to dinner,
grilled salmon, baked potatoes, a tossed salad with baby spinach and other
lettuces, red peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, avocado, a great bread (brought by
the friend) and, for dessert, a parfait (raspberries, blueberries, new peaches)
made by my son who's getting to be a chef, told me when I asked, finally
remembering, that she thought they were "fire bushes," which made me laugh.
It's been a while since I've written anything so sustained, aside from this drift of
very short sharp things that have been accumulating for days and which may be
just shards of some shattering, icicles perhaps? Anyway, thank you, for I
especially liked your 'passion flower' too, such a gentle deftness to it,
best,
Rebecca
Loved the video Rebecca (again!).
Especially the first vast image from the berries:
the only color blooming
in ice so many
could be galaxies constellated
to random, aperiodic order,
arrayed in mythic figure and story ripening
but the trip through all they became was terrific.
