Only occasionally do people comment, I guess most of them prefer solitaire to poetry. However, yesterday a sweet patient was holding "Postscript" in her hand and said she was not leaving without it, she loved it deeply and said that the combined vulnerability and kindness of the poem had moved her deeply. I remember when I first read this poem, it brought tears to my eyes, brimming so fully with the (chocolate) mild of human kindness. She also loved January's "Invisible." I direceted her also to your site. Just thought you should know.

I hear a smooth cascade, picturing the thoughts or words being poured out as the thermos pours out the words, and tilting up at the surprise end, "cup of bubbling chocolate - thank you." deep resolutions in the thoughts and feelings that attach, almost as afterthought, to the everyday amazing niceties and affirmations. I can't think of why, but this, of all the poems that had to do with portentious beautiful darkness and light, this prompt, this flowing little poem is bringing tears to my eyes this morning.
