High up



or close up.  Easy to miss.  But once seen!  Yes, this is a flowering dahlia tree.  Dahlia being San Francisco's official flower.  Brief blooming season.  Like cranberry beans -- brief and beautifully
hued.  And remember San Francisco's Botantical Garden is the finest farmers markets for blooms, for words, and the eyes' appetite.  Bon appetite!  A colorful golden beet pizza for dinner, should you ask.

    Constellations, continued


    All was washed clean by the inclement weather
    down in the distance, a farthing, a stove

    On the couch with circumstances
    and a bowl of nectarines

    Twilight seems to be too final
    As preposterous as that may be

    cp 457
