It has been longer than a month since I last posted!!!! I have a good reason though. We have been in the villages teaching ESL. We are now on our last school of 4 schools. Also in less than two Rusty, my mom, and I are going to the states. The summer has gone by so fast...*sigh*...Once we get back from the states we'll start school then we'll be done with school for the year around thanksgiving, then christmas, the it will be a new year...Time goes by really fast. I used to think an hour was so long then we started to travel a lot, now it seems like a year is short. Anywho, I just wanted to post. Bye.

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.
