Lot 304: Various Books There are always lives Left between the leaves Scattering as I dust The honeymoon edelweiss Pressed ferns from prayer-books Seed lists and hints on puddings Deprecatory letters from old cousins Proposing to come for Easter And always clouded negatives The ghost dogs in the vanishing gardens: Fading ephemera of non-events, Whoever owned it (Dead or cut adrift or homeless in a home) Nothing to me, a number, or if a name Then meaningless, Yet always as I touch a current flows, The poles connect, the wards latch into place, A life extends me— Love-hate; grief; faith; wonder; Tenderness. —Joan Barton

There are always lives Left between the leaves Scattering as I dust The honeymoon edelweiss Pressed ferns from prayer-books Seed lists and hints on puddings Deprecatory letters from old cousins Proposing to come for Easter And always clouded negatives The ghost dogs in the vanishing gardens:

Fading ephemera of non-events, Whoever owned it (Dead or cut adrift or homeless in a home) Nothing to me, a number, or if a name Then meaningless, Yet always as I touch a current flows, The poles connect, the wards latch into place, A life extends me -- Love-hate; grief; faith; wonder; Tenderness.
