Hope all is well…
Thanks. Me too.
Heart and Shadow
Each day’s a letter
from the unknown.
Yesterday’s missive
came on a plate
of beaten silver.
Today, the hollows
brimming with shadow
are legible. The only
comfort, a fox
squirrel crossing the yard,
its tail a mellow flame
floating in its wake.

[I hope all is well, Dave. Or that it will be.]
Beautiful, Luisa. Thank you.
I like the nod to the via negativa there in the opening lines, too!
