Nice Sunday spot

You can dream yourself here at the Spiral Garden, with moss and art from ventilators, at Bedrock Gardens in New Hampshire. Click to enlarge.*

A smile fell in the grass.
Irretrievable!

And how will your night dances
Lose themselves. In mathematics?

Such pure leaps and spirals —-
Surely they travel

The world forever, I shall not entirely
Sit emptied of beauties, the gift

Of your small breath, the drenched grass
Smell of your sleeps, lilies, lilies.

Sylvia Plath, from “The Night Dances”
(Plath regards her baby daughter sleeping.)
