These are beautiful, Lisa– and I keep coming back to “Even houseflies must have their angels,” and to being envious and amazed at how you managed to move out into such personal and historical spaces and times– into an encapsulating metaphysic, maybe!– from there, with no heavy-handedness at all. Thanks so much for the link!
