falling rain on mushrooms
black tea in the afternoon
tiny deer on tiny plates
yellow and red leaves on grass
cornbread in the oven
frost on the roof

Things I have always desired
a ship in a bottle
a small cabin hidden in a forest
a garden maze
a swing in the living room
a friend that is also a crow
a crystal ball
a bridge to another time
a ride on a paper airplane
a conversation with shadows
a working fireplace
a happy ending
A Lifetime
she was once a shiny, little object
at the front of a long, lithe line,
eventually sinking to the bottom of an old glass jar,
before rolling into the far left corner of a jumbled junk drawer
On my mind lately
fairy lights and sparrow skulls
swollen winter river strands
vintage postcards on the walls
summer lined in brick-paved bands
