LegacyEverything that is is already past. We live a minute— childhood to old age. So think on this, ponder what will last, heroic deeds or words upon the page? • Lori Desrosiers © 2012 |

Flower Bells at Bedhead
(Monet – Flower beds at Betheuil)
somnolent blossoms
die every winter rebirth
in spring to fill our yard
and the neighbor’s with
the ringing of leaf & petal
the smell of dirt & essence
each year smells
more pungent than the last
