Resurrection Clothes

Quirky, funny girl—at 60 still so open to the world! (Too open, you might say— it’s often filled with so much pain.) But you have eyes that see, have hands that make of things already beautiful more beauty still.

for Anna You said that reading my poems was like watching them unfold through lace. What a vision! You’re the one who has the poet’s sight! Deep calls to deep, it’s said.
