Somehow it ALL came together
Not a sculpture or a song
But a celebration of hardstoned peaches

Cut in a wave
Curving back into
A sandcastle crust

Pushed in by our hands
Held up by laughter, I think-

A peach pistachio galette
A funny valentine-

Flashing in my brain
Reminding me of home, hearth
and heat, so welcome today—

In the cold dawn, that knows nothing
Of time and what IT demands-
But I do know my heart IS in my hands
