   Today, for me, it’s heavy day-long rain and the scent of grass hay as I toss it toward the donkey who waits in his stall.

      cold rain falling continuously, scent of freshly baked donuts wafted toward the puddled sidewalk, greasy fried chicken lingering on the fingers of a bus stop neighbor waiting for an overdue bus, the fading perfume of lilacs in the vase by my bed

   I’ve also wondered about how Clark uses content in the snippet about the deer and present or present in another section. Could be content as a peace or content as subject. Present as here/right now or present as in making available. Interesting. I switched them back and forth in the reading “present bewilderment tense” etc. In this case present tense I suppose… just musing…

   From a listener in Colorado–

   “The mountains: Breathtaking, beautiful, temperamental, beckoning, unforgiving – home.”

   the orchards lush green rows move in waves as the last cold winds of spring keep us inside corgis lying by the fire like beached seals dream of running with long legs leaping fences catching hawks in midair and howling with coyotes

   Oh my goodness — such evocations. I am smiling and taking joy in all the images you three have shared. It’s so great to get a snippet of different worlds–yet our world–thank you…
