LIGHTLINED

                 In the prided wood, the
                 Lord of Luminescence
                 gives to each fruit
                 a dewy tumescence
                 and with light each lemon
                 limns
                 and with love each lime
                 She lines.

TRI LEVEL AGRICULTURE

In the foothills
of the Apennines
old olive trees
with grapes vined
make violet orbs
of olivine

GATHERING THE STONES

She gathered the stones

at her thrown

and built a home

of her very own

                 (Lightlined is to Emma Pride Wood who for
                 several decades bought and prepared food
                 to serve several hundred outpatients
                 of St. Elizabeth's vegan meals.)
