Community Roots had been given some pineapples left over from the Tropical Pressure Festival last weekend and I was given one. I’ll make a Heligan Pineapple Cake or two with it.
I was saddened to read of the death of the American poet, Andre Gibson who wrote, among many others, the wonderful poem “Dying is the opposite of leaving.” – Andrea Gibson (8/13/1975 – 7/14/2025) 
When a poet dies
A poet who was sun
Bright and warm
Searing truth
Hopeful rays
We
Whose ears were blessed
Whose souls were healed
Whose hearts were held
By their words
We
Flicker in the darkness
With the stars they planted
In our breath
We
constellations of memories
Shining tears of gratitude
Pulling us closer to each other
In honor
In grief
In love
Rest well dear poet
We will carry your light
