The Soul Selects her own Society –

then – shuts the door –

to her divine majority –

Present no more.


Unmoved – she notes the Chariot’s pausing

At her low Gate –

Unmoved – an emperor is kneeling

Upon her Mat.


I’ve known her from an Ample Nation –

Choose One –

Then – Close the Valves of her Attention –

Like Stone.

I'm Going to Plant Morning Glories to Drape Down the Sides of my Porch


http://www.burpee.com/flowers/all-annuals/introduction-to-annual-flowers-article10453.html

I received a handful of seeds from a client last year. Tonight I am going to soak them to aid germination and then early tomorrow morning when I awake with perimenopausal sweats at 4 a.m., I will escape to my porch and sow them 1/2-inch deep in my coco window boxes, which are hanging over the railing. Then I will go out each early morning to spy the beauties because according to my client, "they will open first at night." According to the site posted above, which I found via Google, the seedlings will emerge in 7 to 21 days. They can tail along the railings or I can train them to climb up string to create a private hiding place on my porch, which otherwise looks over a parking lot.
