Year of writing 7


1/7/12


Sometimes everything is perfect. Sometimes a pie plate is Darth Vader's helmet, all you need is a pair of scissors and the string from a birthday hat.

Her eyes
deep chestnut
search for joy
in every face
every cold corner
of this house

a blanket campfire
a pie tin mask
these are her handmaidens
a line of figurines
keep whispered secrets
under hard plastic hats

some days the world
opens wide and brilliant
under this roof
some days her eyes
are endless
