What can YOU say in six sentences?
Almost Three Years
I am learning to live here where the storms come up from the gulf rather than down from the north, headed for the other gulf, and today I watched a hummingbird feeding in a snow storm.
If I were to pick a symbol of you and me, would I pick a hummer's sword, or a bat's dive, or a lizard's elbow, or a fox's wet nose, or a perfect point of obsidian, or the rain's round promise?
The bear's paw earrings sometimes scratch you in the night, but I don't take them out.
The lady in the grocery store commented on my shopping alone the other day, so maybe I have been here long enough to make a path...
My voice lifts your's and I am learning to hear when it is right, and we turn together like synchronized swimmers in the night.
The tree outside our sitting room is leaning over pretty far to the east and with all of this heavy snow it is going to go over... but we've been talking about it for almost three years.

The symbols were most interesting, but the synchronized swimmers plucked my heart a bit. Very nice.

Most excellent Cita but for me lines 5 & 6 are killer.
