|
a sliver of blue land slipped between sea and sky |
|
the smell of dry earth wild strawberries tart on the tongue waiting for thunder |
|
my two young cats hunting through flickering shade unwind their stripes |
|
two glasses of wine and the world is a bowl of sky a dish of wet leaves |
|
night after night winding the grandfather clock so time does not stop |
|
following the bier through pines and wild violets the old smell of tears |
