Picture
A poem and a pic a week. For a year. Or so. And this is also Lu’s birthday sonnet as it is Lucia’s 15th birthday at 12:01.

Happy birthday to Lucia Lee!
There will be cake, and glee, and anarchy!

(With a painting of his sister courtesy of DiamondPart 20/20. )

45.
Love letter 15: Builder
She says to build. Pats her chest at the tree
to say build more trees. Nods to the sea
to ask for boats built not from trees
but from the sea.
Looks to the moon and sees the marbled
paths on its lower edge and we wonder
can we shape and smooth the ragged
plumes
the clouds make of the other boundaries
of the moon. The crux of her crooked arm
is the tip of the season towards winter
which spills into spring. A basket, a
ball,
a chair, a table, at last a spoon.
At last a spoon, at last a fork, at last
a rod to cast at the moon’s verge at last.
