In shadow. In sunlight.


It isn't usually thought that shadow is as downright cheerful as sunlight.  But look at these blooms.   In light and in shadow they optimistically glow.  Carrots are known to brighten a kitchen.  Lemons, too.  Certain words, too, will brighten or dim a poem.  Color, something you can't quite grasp but it surrounds us -- inside & out.

  1. out of order


    red, as clear as a city light
    (don't get any closer to the host and hostess tonight)
    you thin you have a purpose
    you imagine yourself in hell
    either way the party's outcome
    is impossible to tell
    just hold me close my darling, hold me
    by my very heart
    I have nowhere else to go
    this inconspicuous start
