Notebook thingies

Eduardo Corral has asked for some notebook musings and so you have some. This is from the top page of my yellow-pad:



-like sable plumes on helmets

-cards perfumed with balsam

-sometimes her yellow hair

got into the corners of his mouth



-bound in tunic and dark carmel papers.



-in the moonlight it is jade-green snow



-there are two versions of her story



-licorice-flavored tobacco



-a bat caught in a wall of linen



-rings on the inside of the coffee mug from milk look like tree rings



-dizzying trapezoid rooms



-moisture on plums form a window



-agates in the window and dry pussywillow



-linger like red berries in winter
