 Good Fortune, by Rene Magritte (Belgium), 1938. Good Fortune
What good fortune to have layered sky-- grey clouds stretched onto periwinkle canvas-- above our evening home. Better fortune that the inside is lit with tangerine edges of setting sun. And the luckiest of all-- the cosmos stitching stars in the root cellar stars whose light seeps up through floor boards like stems to vein quarter moons into being sharp lamps hanging in every room. Taunja Thomson Taunja Thomson’s poetry has most recently appeared in Peacock Journal and Half-Baked.

A worshiper of nature, her summers are filled with water gardening, and her winters are spent obsessively feeding the birds and other wildlife that appear in her one-acre slice of heaven, a field.
