Que bonito

Lovely, haunting, lingering in the breeze. I'm winding my way through Merton's "The Seven Storey Mountain," catching wisps of it after I put my kids to bed. This feels like it. I can see Merton ambling through a flowered hillside in this poem. Well done. And thank you.

These are really wonderful, Joseph. You know I am a flower devotee, but also a great appreciator of vibrant, careful compression. They go straight to my heart. Thank you for sculpting these poems.

These snatches put together lend an otherworldly feel.

"Eight crows wheel in the sky." Very clever. I never would have thought to phrase it like that.
