What a beauty, Jonathan. And a feeling.

Thanks so much, Patris — yes, the feeling is what it’s all about.

Triple scoop frosty freeze but dressed warm to bare the clouds collected thoughts with thrill of solitude to take a big bite out of the day. . Fills me with vanilla lemon bisque. I accept the toss of a pebble into the River of life in your triptych poem that draws my attention to time to live and cold hand oof a friend missed who waits at home with hot drink when I return.

Thank you, Richard. I wonder if any ice cream parlor has thought to name their triple-scoop option The Triptych

Patten the name and sell the big scoop to a parlor near you.

Lovely. My favorite lines:

“The morning light, the taste of tears,

The sounds of things that no one hears

Like ships out on the ocean tossed”
