I wish you concupiscent milk, from cows, that if they defecate pile the meadows with chocolate as sweet as France could find. With mile on mile of orange groves whose fruit, at night beneath the stars, toward morning work to squeeze their selves to pails of smooth liquor. And big farm boys to bale the hay, sweating bare-chested on summer days, whose breasts heave large with heavy sighs beneath their poesied gazes. The sun is low upon the rows, its waning light a soft adieu whose lambent sense, as aureole, allows you now . . . to dream. |

Huan Yi "With mile on mile of orange groves whose fruit, at night beneath the stars, toward morning work to squeeze their selves to pails of smooth liquor." Where I live now, used to be just that...I used to visit here on trips with my parents, calling it, "the country". Most of the orange trees are gone now, given way to ranch style homes and low slung concrete. I like the way you write! |

I'm so confused (as my name happens to be Karen) but I am nonetheless amused, too. Even if it's not for me, I have to wonder-- "concupiscent milk," with CHOCOLATE no less! I enjoyed this glimpse into your whimsical side, John. Very much enjoyed. |
