in the eyes of a tired stranger
folded between words in a letter
tucked into the loft shelves
floating beside autumn winds
unsuspected, under hot pink petals
I had hoped for a blue piece, but got yellow instead.
Thinking about expectations, probabilities and happiness;
I bit down on the yellow square only to spit it out moments later.
rusty farm equipment
old fire trucks
worn brushes
tiny bird skulls
1960’s ambulances
vigilant hawks
hand lettering
rocks on the ground
pine cones in a tree
a funeral procession
rain on the river
