. Beside A steamer trunk My parents Somehow brought From Europe Wooden eaves Among dusty Spider webs Watching colors— Through a Lambent window The new world’s Forth of July . [This message has been edited by Huan Yi (12-09-2008 08:25 PM).] |

Sounds like your attic is a whole lot more inviting than mine! Lambent.....I had forgotten that word, and it's beautifully right for this....so I've got a literal gain, on top of the enjoyment. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |
