Lily:
Someone at the coop, maybe someone named Yuri, said that they wished someone would send them a weirdo package like that. I said, maybe someone will. I never know if someone wants the bits of earth I mail across the earth to them, and so maybe they don't know also. Once, I mailed Fall leaves from Olympia WA, to Japan. A tiny note inside said, It's Fall here, what is it there?" I wonder if you ever opened that box of dirt and flowers? I wonder if the bulbs instead grew through the box, into the earth of the base of the stairs. I wonder if the whole place changed from a staircase to like a softly sloping meadow? Maybe some things are better left unopened? | |
