. . tall once in garden must now bend to kiss cool earth it is autumn's time to bed down nature's children even I, the wicked one . . my season is brief yet my memory lingers in clutch of nightmares blame not bloom for your undo Belladonna, Nightshade, me ~ . . Chris Barker June 2004 ~~~~~ |

Your words beckon and deliver, they have grown into something so exquisite, Chris. So exquisite as this, your Bella, the tension and release is striking. I love it. Love, Reg |
