flimsy and so full of what-may-happens;
On   This   Cold   Day
                                    the small schedule of classes on my doormat
brings August
early

heaven knows we need some sunshine
Dahlia - 1 vase, 3 blooms, miniature, Decorative, Cactus or Semi-Cactus
under thick.canvas, a sordino for the obligatory unexpected summer downpour

We nearly bought a pair of yellow-footed calling ducks
and

‘why are there so many doctors?’ my son asked, watching
                                the livestock judges in their white coats            we had laughed then.

this torsion kills me now

    A beautiful mosaic; you have a gift for weighting things, such poise, such tiny footsteps; this is delicate and lovely read aloud, it trembles with emotion.
