under every darkness

engulfed

though where

by lone eye

light is sought

all may follow.

The Biography of Julia Child

Julia Child had by this point endured

her childhood and their envy by living

well larger than the tiny appetites

of all of us enjoying a splash of Chardonnay

Garcon!  Ici! Dancing pina colada 

lobsters on silver platters - and so it all

boiled down to that fateful day

the apotheosis of her gustatorial life

taking a savor of ambergris pesto to her tongue

tip by means of a single rigatoni speared

on the  brilliant tine of her golden fork:

"Chef Boyarde!  You are a genius!"

Yeats on Pound

I ask William Yeats in dream about the strange case

of Ezra Pound. Yeats replies that Pound's case is,

"Difficult, indeed.

                            It is as a peacock wrestling

with a pig. It is as the shadow of a peacock

wrestling with the shadow of a pig."
