From Journal, page 983-984:

Went to car. Tire's been fixed. Battery is still dead. Started going through car. Must find title. Quick. It should've been in glove compartment but not there. So it means going thru everything. What a pain. I will find a few things along the way, I suspect. Including leaks, ants, & surprizes (yuck).

Everitt ... suggested we go for a ride in the country! The prospect pleases me. There is hope on the far horizon ...

IMAGES

Fallen leaves of the sycamore, catalpa in bloom - a waft of sweetness.

Pentstemon; a blue and white 60s Ford Galaxy with Wyoming license plates (I think of 'Brokeback Mountain).

In the orange furrow of bark
I'd bury myself,
protected from weather or worry
until the woodpecker found me there:
death by fowl not fury. [163.154]

I need to find the specie of tree. It may be ash ... in which case 'From ash to ash ...' or 'Deep in the ash' could be a title.
