Ann - the second sentence of your reply deserves to be sonnetized. Or maybe a novella. Can I put in a bid for film rights? I can already picture the last scene, with the camera drawing back and back and back until it covers the house and the entire valley, and the viewer is left with the image of this woman with her drawers and chests and lifetime of expressions, each one wrapped in bunting (I must find out what that actually is) and carefully folded and stored. We've had many poems on the sphere - including any number of mine - that contained less poetry than those few lines.
