Yes, it had been a wonderful afternoon, full of geranium and marigold and verbena and warm sunshine.

 

Catherine Mansfield/Dill Pickle

O stay where you are! Here

in the uncertain hour of a late afternoon

looking outward and looking in

I see this beauty

all I see is beauty.

Something that convinces, asks to be seen,

though it does nothing, just stays where it is,

and merely by existing wins me over.
