In the Night
The Leaves That Stayed
A heavenly-blue vine after a hard night
William Vincent Carleton
Glory is a morning glory in a pot, facing a New England October. After two windy nights burn her outer leaves bronze, she answers by flowering in heavenly blue. Bram the fox wants to tidy the burnt leaves away, but they are doing a job. Dee the chickadee witnesses. An In the Night story for every body that asked permission to heal.
