for karin who has lost three teeth. i've been thinking of lost causes, but there is no lost cause that compares to lost teeth, in a way. so potent, teeth, instrumentally and spiritually, but as i was thinking this morning, we cannot despair, well, we can, but we must go on. i hope my previous post about teeth did not upset you. i share your grief about teeth. like green space, teeth and loss are places we all relate. at the sitdown tonight we will eat something you like in your honor. spirit food.
