Red Coral 2003 By Drea
There are layers upon layers on nearly everything that cover up what they really are.
Peel those layers back to see that most things are honestly the same. http://dreajensengallery.artistwebsites.com/featured/red-coral-2003-drea-jensen.html

The Plum Trees
by Mary Oliver

Such richness flowing
through the branches of summer and into

the body, carried inward on the five
rivers! Disorder and astonishment

rattle your thoughts and your heart
cries for rest but don’t

succumb, there’s nothing
so sensible as sensual inundation. Joy

is a taste before
it’s anything else, and the body

can lounge for hours devouring
the important moments. Listen,

the only way
to tempt happiness into your mind is by taking it

into the body first, like small
wild plums.
