Prudent Purveyor

Pg 110; Cantus (book title)

What we need is a prudent purveyor

A fingerless wine

    Won't touch you

Useless in panic

Like a kettle

    Whistling before the heat

Do with distinction

Abandon the process

Your images feel like small paradoxes, things meant to help but unable to fulfill their purpose. That tension gives the final lines a surprising clarity. A compact poem with a lingering echo.

[Brad Dehler]

Oh i like how you put that Sarah. Many thanks! I feel that through these deeper meanings brings appreciation and then that makes way towards importance. You got it

Dear Brad Dehler,
I find it grand. Wine, yes!
Fingerless, Yes!
love every line, every inuendo, maybe closer than exhibit.
Great affection. Great write! Inhibitionless,

[Brad Dehler]

Thank you! I feel you are right there with it, intertwined. I really appreciate your kudos. Many thanks!!!

Always the careful carrier, bearing gentle hopes for the future; trying not to shatter the eggshell of reality. Perhaps with the kettle put on we might become a bit hard boiled in our precepts but this too shall pass.

[Brad Dehler]

Yes sir. True to form as always. This too shall pass

[W. Barrett Munn]

Unfortunately, all we have are kettles that boil over and scream. Future? What future, they will say. It's only ME ME ME ME ME.

Imprudent, indeed.

Thank you Winston. Very good insight to all of this

Is Cantus a book you wrote? I like that useless kettle analogy. Like a pilot light on a stereo while listening to your life.

[Brad Dehler]

Thank you William. Yes Cantus is my first book. I appreciate the thoughtfulness
