And this Poem You Posted Here Today, Peter....

love this...there's a strange power to the image almost like a mandala...something in your quatrefoliate imagery is getting me where I live....

oddly enough reminds me of one of my favorite (underrated!) poets, Celestine Frost....


INAUGURAL VALENTINE


As every scientist knows
there are only four loves

in the withering
of a leaf

though they seem to come from everywhere
to meet themselves

as strangers airborne
in the ever-widening gorge of the world

the love of falling
the love of someone

the love of a certain pigment
the love of seeds

only what is free itself
can speak for freedom.
