Violets


To restore me to myself I’m chopping onions and parsnips, washing red chard, finding violets like rain-washed amythests half-hidden under the dead winter twigs and leaves, trying to shape a story from the wistful images of other Januaries, yearning for something a new year promises: bloom and new growth of my own.
