the way this lady paints images with words is just dreamy...luscious, sad, gorgeous, loving and connected... a lot like the moon that is ever present in her work...
here is a tiny bit from her brand new published book "Thirteen Departures From The Moon."
In the dark, worn-out night,
mountains drip secret layers of perfumed mist
into the cheeks of young girls
and the moon is a solitary man
who waits in anguish
for the unveiling of violet courtyards
hidden just beneath the mountain tops.
good, right?
sooo vivid! a good poem transports - and this one certainly does!
