DPF / Pizarro Harman

For Leonora Carrington’s painting. And, mothers and daughters.

from Baby Giant / by Michele Pizarro Harman

        For your birth,
                           a river-rush basket
                       lined in fleece,    

            willow walls,
                         and knots of pillows
                            stitched in birds.
