free write #18/ lavender

i used to grow lavender in my garden in national city.  Long slender stalks of that wonderful blue purple color, still in the afternoon. I would cut and dry it and place it in  a vase on the glass table

la Von der, as milla would say. bunches of crushed lavender sewed into tiny pouches and placed in underwear drawers.

the fragrance of lavender makes me think of poety,penned in a fine hand script on browning calligraphy paper.
