Darkling day, but so far without actual rain. Spading out a great invasion of purple bamboo shoots.

Mountain Xpress publishes its “sustainability” poetry contest winners. My second place poem is better than the winner by levels of magnitude. I’m glad they published them all, so I won’t have to make that point myself.

Cinquo de mayo and nobody has invited me out for a drink.

Pink and shell-pink and pinkish-orange peonies blaze in the gardens.

Perhaps I have finished Invisible Husbands.
