The title / first line ran in to the second in my mail. (Though perhaps that's part of the form of a poem released into the e-wild.) I was initially wondering if Sixty-Second Lilies were a form or origami or a reference a someone more demure than second-hand Rose. I love the jolt from the first to couples to the rapportage of the first line of the third. (Though not sure about the "dry". Perhaps in the company of "tonight", "ninety" and "quiet" it's one long-i too many? Would a humid heat offer less quiet? We don't know much about real heat, at least of the meteorological kind, in Ireland.) The cl-cu-ca in the fourth sounds a lively note, suggesting that your scheduled one-year old will leave her mark on the quiet offered. There's something wonderfully affirming and triumphant about the final "she had won". Thanks, Sheila, a pleasure to read this, one I'll come back to, best Randolph On 28/05/2012 06:44, Sheila Murphy wrote: > One Hundred Sixty-SecondLilies, like yourself, live where they are known, > and tangibly, the elements upon them. > > Racks of how-to books explain how to locate > one to love, then how to love and to possess. > > Wind tonight means temperatures will not reach ninety-one. > People have left town, and dry heat offers quiet. > > A one-year old is scheduled to arrive at our front door. > She climbs into cupboards and filing cabinets. > > When my aunt died, among her possessions were multiple > wallets, purses, pairs of gloves, and watches she had won. > > > Sheila E.
