“One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.” Virginia Woolf
Waiting Sweet, sticky juice, the way your fingers caressed the glass, your lips upon that long, slender straw, while your eyes offered private conversation as the world passed by in blurred abstractions, your smile takes me prisoner once again and I await the consummate dessert.

“Stone walls do not a prison make ….” Richard Lovelace
I'm Glad For The Gate There's nothing as handsome as a dry-stone wall, a certain beauty in its rugged, chiselled symmetry, stone upon stone against any sense of predation or unwanted attention and, even though I crave this very boundary, I'm glad for the gate which lets me choose.

“Grief is the agony of an instant; the indulgence of grief the blunder of a life.” Benjamin Disraeli
Of Things Past The past lurks in the present, intensifying the sense of wanting to restore, heal, the original intention once the pride of purpose, now a felt grief, an if only, raising the question: can we overcome the grief of things past that linger within us?

“Yours is the light by which my spirit’s born ….” ee cummings
Astro-logical There is no dys in the topia of my heart where you're concerned, your ample fullness fills my darkly mind with tingled pulses of rhythmic, to the bone sensatiopns, that caffeinate my hours with a cornucopia of luminous astrologia that simply makes me dizzy.

“The land knows you, even when you are lost.” Robin Wall Kimmerer

dVerse Poets – Quadrille – Curiosity
“Contentment is the greatest form of wealth.” Acharya Nagarjuna
The Joy Of The Mellow I pass no judgement, (and yet, of course, I do) details are never important, though to be curious is never to be shamed, rather, celebrated, as points of departure from the sameness of repetitions, as for grief, while aware, I'm incuriously embracing the mellow.

dVerse Poets – Quadrille – Seed
“The heart is like a garden. It can grow compassion or fear, resentment or love. What seeds will you plant there?” Jack Kornfield
Some Need Fire The magnitude of a seed is mostly only noticed in death, in dying it rises not once, but many times, some need humidity, or damp mixed with dark, some need fire to release their souls, which makes me wonder what nurtures me to grow. ©Paul Vincent Cannon
“Delicious Autumn! My very soul is wedded to it.” George Eliot
Finally Autumn finally arrived, although it was already quietly lurking in the corner of my eyes, having slept in, ignoring summer's alarm well past the expected, slowly disrobing to bare limbs and those austere, rosy tones, precursors to winter's grey wilds, and cosy, snug hibernation. ©Paul Vincent Cannon
