Hey friends!
I have not posted in a LONG time. We just started ESL today and it will be going on for 2 weeks then a 1 week break then 3 more weeks. So summer is pretty much all planned out. It is so hot here and today Samra and I went to the pool with the summer interns. The water was freezing but thats ok because it's hot. I just got a kitty about a week or two ago and she is soooo cute! Her name is Patsy Lou Summay! I will later post pics of her. I want you all to know that I will not post as much as I used to this summer because it's always busy in the summer.
Hugs and kisses to all and all a good night!

Poem of November
Limbo
Fishermen at Ballyshannon
Netted an infant last night
Along with the salmon.
An illegitimate spawning,
A small one thrown back
To the waters. But I'm sure
As she stood in the shallows
Ducking him tenderly
Till the frozen knobs of her wrists
Were dead as the gravel,
He was a minnow with hooks
Tearing her open.
She waded in under
The sign of the cross.
He was hauled in with the fish.
Now limbo will be
A cold glitter of souls
Through some far briny zone.
Even Christ's palms, unhealed,
Smart and cannot fish there.
