the tuscan wall attracts me to it.

pictures of family, grammy and

the grumpa of name I never

at age three, brides, rahab,

our marital hat. echoes and tokens

of lives still vibrant in my heart.

we install the decor as if it were

simply background for dinner.

but in fact it is the main course
