The #flamingos, having spent a lovely summer in the garden, have decided to winter over here citing #climate disruption & a bad political situation at home. After all they reminded me of our Mont. constitution & youth activists ... I said okay.

Back then on the coast
sat under Ustad Ali Akbar Khan
&& the music
Allah Rakha, his son Zakir, Ravi Shankar
the dancing story-telling Kathak bells of Chitresh Das
my wooden flute
He said 'music is food ... without I would die'
not like food
&& without these places I would die
sat under Ustad Ali Akbar Khan

“Not knowing is most intimate.”
I said the garden flowering was over
that autumn had closed in tight.
But, once again & to my delight
I was wrong. Again.
Marigolds & Larkspur in abundance return
evening moths attend the tiny blue flowers.
There is this great breath, an expansiveness
in accepting you are wrong, again.
