After the unexpected more of the unexpected


The morning begins in fog.  When it lifts, a single bearded iris appears.  The plant has several buds; that's a promise soil will keep.  Weeks from Spring.  She's a lavender beauty.  The unexpected has given me a taste for subtle pepper.  I taste for words which hint & woo.

  1. Lustre as a concept fair and forbidden gives rise to the idea of faraway--in the beginning of years, one has the unmistakable idea of starting again, renewing vows and redeeming coupons and yet, when walking one might notice the curve of a back, or a road, or a memory. How do we corral that which has left us and yet stays on?
