Grand Gestures.

One year when he was passing through on his way to Alamogordo March, she thinkshe spent days planting thousands of red and golden poppy seeds on the hillside behind her low-slung adobe house. His sleeves rolled up to reveal tanned, muscled forearms.

She offered to help. He said, No, stay in your studio, love. This is a gift.

Now, every February, before summer comes and the heat withers everything, a vast carpet of yellow and scarlet bobs and curtsies to the desert breeze.

She thinks of him whenever she slips this dress over her head.
