”The dialectic of our being suggests an interinvolvement with a more ultimate giving origin.” Desmond G&B, 107
The Autumn air has edge,
Summer’s aromas of love’s
tart pastimes and sweet.
If memory serves,
we loved every which way,
including hatred.
The hand outstretched now
reaches for a slice of ripe
pear bruised by falling.
