the coming of perfect


Pierre Adolphe Valette

this secret'll keep
like warm biscuits
squirreled away 
in a blue smocked tin
a wee small crack 
in the pantry window
let winter sunbeams 
through a keyhole
grin

  12. This secret is very intriguing...who lives there? why sunbeams will go only in cracked hole? so interesting beginning of story....
