Francine Porad

 

Dear Francine,

In sheer gratitude for you and sun and moon of shared light and love thank you for your stream of kindnesses and encouraging and for the whole body of your poems that indelibly are with me always.... from a forsythia bursting free to a crab washed ashore, feelers intact to a shy little child in the stair-well listening in to the poolside chat on reincarnation no longer with a stranger to a family photo album equally populated with salmon to a husband spellbound to heat running through empty rooms to another disguise to a mirror not properly reflecting a self image to glowing coals soft laughter and no, the honeymoon is not over!

Much love, Tom Clausen

yet another plate
set out before me
"there's yours"
