Crushed
by discouragement late yesterday, I’m gathering things around me this morning
that make me feel happy and brave.
- these Matisse red onions
- warm hot cross buns, with custard and raisins and bits of red candied cherries
- the thought of Café Sabarsky (that indulgent Viennese coffee house), in uptown Manhattan
- a recipe for Treviso style spareribs, pan-roasted with sage
- an old Josephine Tey mystery, The Man in the Queue, to reread under a flowered quilt
- the young Luciano Pavarotti singing “O Dolore”
- half-written stories I want to finish
- the phoebe out the kitchen window
