Parsley, quiet and redolence.

1. The taste of fresh parsley.

2. It stopped raining for an hour towards the end of the morning. All was still outside, except the smoke from the hospital incinerator, because the wind was too little to move the water heavy leaves.

Not forever, mauve skin and at sunset.
