- Synopsis
- Consider this poem: SUNFLOWERS At ten o'clock at night this man is driving across town to bring to his daughter an old electric fan and a bag of earth dug from his compost pile an hour ago in a circle of flashlight. The fan is to blow epoxy fumes from her studio, where she has been painting props for a Grade B movie. The earth is for a clay pot where in spring she planted a sunflower in three tea cups of soil. The flower bloomed once and died, but now new buds spring up around the stalk, promise Indian Summer in the clay pot. This man is tired, he wants to go to bed, but he is driving across town on this September night to bring to his daughter the autumn air freshened with scent of mountains. To bring to her the sun we cause to rise each morning, in any way we can.
