![Painting:
Family group [highly interpretative] (A Dad in laser and slack holds hand of Son in jeans and white t-shirt; to their left a mom figure in blue shirt and white top with hands crossed behind her)
The family group contemplates a painting of two men in their underwear with backs to the viewers -- they look like they are sitting on a bed. A couple? After sex? One appears to be gesturing to the other.
The foreground is a laminate floor with its lines adding to the flow towards the painting within the painting.
It's a complex situation once you try to describe the painting. The composition sets up the urge to narrate and frustrates it at turns.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:jcqgapeyk3zrbweluxpbwhnt/bafkreia75uj6swvbgwkbjs7qipdrss6pyhajz2jj3zgbg3tkmrlmt67caq@jpeg)

Spring blooming hellebores:
Hellebores have flourished in the cool spring

There is one in the garden that blooms in December, survives under the snow and emerges in the spring with white that changes to a rusty ruby as it fades and leaves its leaves to energize over the summer.

Section V of Variations on the Decomposing Fox
Scattered letters spell the names of ear bones == malleus, incus, stapes. This appears after mention of the smallest bones in section IV "and asterisms of salt / the smallest bones / still unwinding wiles"

One Hundred Poems from One Hundred Poets Being a Translation of the Ogura Hyaku-nin-isshiu by H. H. Honda #77
As water of a stream will meet,
Though, barred by rocks, apart it fall
In rash cascades, so we too, sweet,
Shall be together after all.

You fall, and leave the peak forlorn.
