To carry it to our bed the shallow dish extends an incomplete ring as a handle not big enough for a man’s curled finger but still too expansive for a child’s. Many mornings we’ve seen the thing spent, as a gift that no one can use, and reeking. But don’t close the drapes. Now it’s settled on our white window sill against blind glass, let it be a reflection because it can never speak for itself. Paul Sutherland # The Author 2009.
