In the Details

Be specific.

Reference the details of the day,

of your life, of everything.

The squirrel, though not exotic,

is representative of your moments.

Ditto the tiny soon-to-bloom

branchlets of flowers on the Japanese tree lilac.

Don't generalize about "lunch" or "dinner".

Instead say the annual hamburger

dressed in Korean flavours.

Say burrata, spread on

home-baked flatbreads,

with oven-roasted cherry tomatoes

whose caramelized sugars surprise the burrata

with tart and sweet.

Say cranking the oven to 500 degrees

at 7 in the morning

to bake the mongrel seeded sourdough loaf

that rose all night in the cool of the fridge,

wrapped in its linen shroud.

Be specific.

Love is in the details.

Fwd: [delphicitizen] Opening Windows; Scenes from the Journey, vol. 22, no. 18

Opening Windows

Surely it's all about opening the window, as if, at birth, our little selves transport from the limitless reaches of the Multiverse to individual glass houses closed on every side and it is then our task to learn to open those glass walls so we can reclaim our birthright (so rudely and deliberately hidden from us) and this constitutes the lesson: difficult for all of us but more difficult for some (and who knows why THAT is) but here we are struggling with locks and bolts and desperate, sometimes, to find again those open vistas, those expansions, that we remember being within our reach, once, if we could just get these durned windows open!
