I love how the day is laid out like a feast, with tastes as varied as cheese and plums.

    You are so far behind the curve I think you just lapped me, even though I tried to bump you off the track.

Mysterious poem and delivery. I am wondering will any translations be in your chapbook?

  Thanks, Phil. No translations/adaptations in this chapbook, but perhaps in another one down the line.

I’d love to do one. The trick would be finding a publisher, not to mention producing the adaptations. 🙂
