   smoked sugar? is this what I am thinking?
   • Susan L Daniels says:

     I don’t think so…I am a bit of a cook, and I was thinking smoked raw sugar would be a good image for something. If it suggests to you something else, then I would love to hear it.

   Wild and lovely. “dusts her heart with smoked sugar sad”. This is a powerful image to me that comes through from the inside of my chest. Very much like a New Orleans jazz club singer I remember.

     Thanks so much, MMT. Not I have to smoke sugar (would go good on something with salted caramel, I’m thinking…)
