she is profoundly changed—
right through her tender marrow
A Transformation

Lately (In Images)
Surrounding
fog
and ferns
and seashells
with worn ridges–
spiraling thoughts,
and the steam
from a cup of hot tea
Watching
you were watching me
and i was watching you
Beside the POint
everything seems beside the point,
but i don’t know what the point is
Fairy Wings
I studied the seedpods,
thinking all the while
how much they looked
like fairy wings hung to dry
Happiness
the sun of early spring
lifts our spirits—
the possibility of happiness within reach
Te Busco
te busco en los libros,
en las fotos,
en los rincones de mi alma,
te fuistes sin decir adios—
y hasta el dia de hoy,
te busco
in English:
I look for you in books,
in photographs,
in the corners of my soul,
you left without saying goodbye—
and even today,
I look for you
Tea Rose
the blush lasted a day,
a day and maybe a minute—
a small window to admire the brevity of beauty
Excerpt From: Cider with Rosie, 3 of 3
Almost anything that caught her wandering eye, Mother gathered and brought indoors. In bottles, tea pots, dishes, and jugs, in anything old or beautiful, she’d put roses, beech-boughs, parsley, hellebore, garlic, cornstalks, and rhubarb.
from Cider with Rosie by Laurie Lee, 1959
