Hi, Bill,

A moment of solitary comfort.

Aurora has a good (young-person's) memory. She recalled that I had the following poem in The Heron's Nest (March 2005):

alone —
hugging
warm laundry

It was the first poem I ever had accepted and published. Thanks for the walk down memory lane. And, thanks to AA for all those good synapses.

I like yours, David. And, since it appeared in The Heron's Nest, no doubt I've read it before, even though I wasn't conscious of it when I wrote mine. Isn't that Aurora a show-off?

Thanks, John, Gillena, and gautami.

Comforting... and the fresh aroma (and the tender feel to come)... :_)

I can't wait for Aurora to hit 30, so she'll stop being so darn precocious.

Thanks, Vaughn and Devika; and, Devika, thanks for that Christmas wish

Hit it, David? Hell, she'll blast it to smithereens!

The clothes must be dry!
The rain after the snow
has something to do.

We are having rains after rain here... Boring. And wet.

Lovely - reminds me of childhood in many ways, the gust of warmth that came from the laundrette door as you walked past, the warmth in many ways of new washing at home - in part from the heat but also from the smell which will always remind me of my mother.

tikkis, into each life some rain and snow and rain and . . . must fall.

Thanks, jem, for the memory.
