"At night we will set our poems
adrift in ginger ale bottles
each with a clamshell rudder
each with a piggyback spider..."
From "Running Away Together" by Maxine W. Kumin

It's hot. About 101 degrees in heat-stroked Austin, Texas.
And I am underwater on the "things to do and things to handle" list.
But, as ever, I'm glad you stopped by.
Hugs! Or, well, spritzes of nice cool water, or something!
ReplyDeleteAnd I am glad you still got time for a post.
ReplyDeleteIt is always good to visit you.
got the "hots" here too.
ReplyDeletesteamy (maybe that humidity makes you feel "underwater" anyway)
Keep doing and handling, Lori.
ReplyDeleteThe "things to do" looks a lot like my desk!
ReplyDeleteI was just admiring your amazing way of combining poetry and photographs, always refreshing to my mind and heart. Thank you.
