As I venture out on the limbs of another solstice series I am struck by the banks of time that have passed and the parcels of images that hold the future.
Nothing Ventured by Kay Ryan
Nothing exists as a block
and cannot be parceled up.
So if nothing's ventured
it's not just talk;
it's the big wager.
Don't you wonder
how people think
the banks of space
and time don't matter?
How they'll drain
the big tanks down to
slime and salamanders
and want thanks?

Hi Catherine,
Nice surprise of color! I open these like an advent calendar and it was a rich, warm surprise.
