Ponderosa Lemon, a poem by Ange Mlinko in The Wolf, issue 29

Ange Mlinko's poem 'Ponderosa Lemon' appeared in The Wolf, issue 29. A speaker kept awake by the thought of a lemon drifts through associations: the fruit's weight, marble carried across the sea, a dog following through a garden, Cleopatra's nose and dreams as seen by Pascal and Thomas Browne. It ends with a whispering gallery and voices from the past returning on a lemon-scented wind.
