in search of the missing components .....As mysteriously as she had disappeared
soft fur...........................Theadora was back --
warm milk.......drinking milk in the doorway.
the sound of water.........There was no explanation for her absence;
cold water......................nor was one necessary.
deer appeared in the woods....................She lay down beside me
brown grass on the hills... licking herself as the sun went down
the whitecapped mountains..............................and cold fog settled on the hillside.
a flowered dress.............. his body............... as if on the same server ...............the smell of green grass.... warm sun................... on the outskirts of town .................... in another time and place...................... the children laughing.......... blue jeans......................... potato soup...................... footprints.......................... ........... a dark corner.................... the pine trees overhead...... walking............................. riding................................ the horizon........................
