ISBN: 1-60001-044-X

Description: obedience, the fourth book by kari edwards, offers a

stopping here. female voice. prior, male voice.
both unfamiliar narrators. new, surprising.
she because seemed to be sensible till
words appear. he because unclear where
he came from, all new to me, typewise and
everything.
hers like a dream-ish. his different,
like overhearing a conversation.
how hers started out.
now bed. very sleepy.
nice writing tonight.
milk. milk for the soul.
* * *
first in dream years
the somnolesence tea-tired
and withered hoards (ordes)
of starches and lace beaten
to a ragged pulp
membrane
and roping the desire
enough a cough raspy
whisper (the small squeal
of difficult dream)

Happy New Year, Y'all!!
I'm in Lansdale, PA, visiting my sister and her family,
trying to get over what turned out to be a really bad cold
or maybe flu, that I caught while at MLA.
Sipping broths and tea with lemon & honey.
But my sister had a wonderful New Year's Eve party here last night with her neighbors,
lovely, interesting people I am fortunate to have met and talked with.
If the cold/flu thing is not worse, we'll be driving tomorrow to Rochester NY to see our dad. Looking forward...
