Bazin - Steets of Bamako, Bamako, 2010.
walking the streets of bamako
i hear
flapping fabric asking to move slow.
crisp, dyed, fresh on the line.
bazin for the taking - none of it mine.
vibrant purples, oranges, amber and gold.
barika b'a la? i'll take it - i'm sold

3:20 a.m.?! Oh my goodness...The fabrics, Sweetheart--would any in either purple and/or amber be available for you to purchase for me, such that either you (there) or I (here) could have something made with it? Your judgment, Darling, is good enough for me. If you think "no", so be it. Ane e-mail from Martha started with "boy howdy" I love you both for it. Sweet reminder. Memaw
