"Husk"

it is not like anything else

not like the jellyfish

because it is hard oval pointed shelled

not like boustrophedon

it floats down it does not go this way and that

not like waves

it forms around space stubbornly hard

but is it like

the ear seeking the echo

the default of love

  2. Thank you. We have arranged to meet your friend over lunch when we visit her town in late November. One of the wonders of the web, enabling these kinds of connections.
