A pinch of God.







Bob demonstrates how to deal with a cashmere pullover that has been left carelessly at PON height.

Sophie looks on. She'd like us to believe that her brothers an oaf. In reality she's working out how to wean the pullover ( or what's left of it ) away from him.

You can tell when a poet is a dog lover. 

The old woman, the tulip and the dog

Alicia Ostriker

To be blessed
said the old woman
is to live and work
so hard
God’s love
washes right through you
like milk through a cow

To be blessed
said the dark red tulip
is to knock their eyes out
with the slug of lust
implied by
your up-ended skirt

To be blessed
said the dog
is to have a pinch
of God
inside you
and all the other
dogs can smell it.
