Grapes have a history that
dates back thousands of years;
they are one of the earliest cul-
tivated fruits. First harvested
by Greeks for wine-making,
grapes were later developed
into different varieties by the
Romans. Today, there are
more than 8,000 varieties of
grapes grown worldwide and
they are used in a variety of
ways: from wine and juice, to
raisins, jams and jellies.
Grapes are available year-
round, but will be freshest

was the Kansas poet laureate, takes a look at a younger version
of herself in this telUng poem.
Two Gates
I look through glass and see a young woman
of twenty, washing dishes, and the window
turns into a painting. She is myself thirty years ago.
She holds the same blue bowls and brass teapot
I still own. I see her outline against lamplight;
she knows only her side of the pane. The perch
where I stand is empty. Sunlight fades. I hear
water run in the sink as she lowers her head,
blind to the future. She does not imagine I exist.

I step forward for a better look and she dissolves
into lumber and paint. A gate I passed through
to the next life loses shape. Once more I stand
squared into the present, among maple trees
and scissor-tailed birds, in a garden, almost
a mother to that faint, distant woman.
