| Posted by Kathleen Wilson on 11/12/09 at 03:52 PM This is amazing and so 'true to life'... you made me understand that this is a real tradition I did not know about and both as such... the look of bone and sugar so close(!!!) and as a poetic image it is so powerful and well used. I adopt your poem as one to my own brother as well, he too would (have)appreciate(d) it with a sly, insightful pleasure. |
