early May

Met Laura on Robson, dressed in
black, her hair longer than before
She owns a house, shaped like a Z,
on a lot shaped like a triange
Her own website unfinished, all
her efforts focused on paying off
her mortgage. Told her about the
website, almost finished. 'It's
about time,' she replied

pinkish tint

Glimpse of Minori coming out of the
alley. What a difference a year
(less a day) makes! At Bentall,
sparkling petals of cherry blossom
thrown high into the air by strong
winds, like thousands of pink
butterflies in the cold shade of
the Royal Centre tower. Late at
night, on the balcony in White
Rock, large chunks of popcorn-
shaped clouds, irridescent in the
light of a full moon

Hiroko from the tiny island of

is plum in Japanese. Her
mother's name was Ito
