Max Yes that excitement of secretly planting !!cheers P -----Original Message----- From: Poetryetc: poetry and poetics [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Max Richards Sent: 31 October 2007 20:03 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Late snap Snails and Belladonnas Go, little snails, from my garden wall, where youšre climbing this evening between one moist green meal and your next. Go, in this bucket, through the sweet evening air, not to an early death, though from my point of view you deserve it; no, go as I release you, over the road where mild October has seen fresh grass at the park edge. Feast there and multiply, if you must, but spare the belladonna lilies we secretly inserted near the railing. Though not flowering this season, maybe one year their bare spare spikes of white and pink will surprise us, or if Išve gone, please others.
