    About this ebook

    Nothing more that you can see... nothing more that you can be... nothing more to tell... Winter closed the wishing well and said, instead - let the good earth rest her head - a season's joy full fed - now to glistening easily - now to listening peacefully, as earth slumbers deep - its own wisdom keep.

      Summer: A Love Story

      Apr 20, 2021

      It is a squalid time. The body grows tired of being a body. Sweat. Always. A thin film of it on the skin. Do not say dewy. Do not say glisten. I dream of endless green. Of wet. Of rain hammering the Earth. Of buds sprouting. I want to insist on life
