NOVEL INSPIRES POEM!

I'm so happy! Moi novel inspired the fabulous poet Jeff Harrison to pen a poem, which he shared with the WRYTING-listserve (hence I heard about it!). Here's his poem -- and thanks Jeff!

A silk pocket
(Unattached? Perhaps!)
blue as a watering can
jettisons
an iron key.

Neglect oranges
a vineyard.

Are jettisoned, slowly, and,
despite poesy,
mortal as vines:
red roses
from immense crystal vases.
O hart,
from your horns: light once more!

From zero
bubbles no remorse.
From a pocket
blue and silk spumes
a key iron
as any iron sea.
