Flood Coin 1 (Louisiana Quarter)


Katrina's flood water was extraordinarily corrosive. When we moved into our place on Olympia St. in Janurary of 2006, the laundromat in the neighborhood had a sign up: "No Flood Coins." This is what those unwanted coins would have looked like.

is pretty here but
cold as the dickens.
Say hello to all for
me. How I wish

this......Catherine

Postcard 47: Leather Postcard, Undated, Circa 1965


Cordoba
We saw the girls doing
this leather work. We
have seen them
making mantillas of
lace and tablecloths.
Today we saw acres of
red peppers drying in
the sun, most in racks
but a great many on
the ground. Man turns
them over with a wooden
pitch fork. Everyone here rides
a burro.........Love Florence

Water on Mars!


This street of open umbrellas
usually
forms in the presence of water

this heron hunting
from the edge
of the pond, so still.

The space program's
been looking for
this kind of thing on mars,

a freedom from the immense
wind of atoms,
a place to settle down

a little farther from the sun.

(From "Variations on the Habits of Wading Birds" in Carbon)
.
What they thought was water on Mars is water.
