rabbit foot

2009

time shrinks

peanut stained to do

lists eat sleep and fade

books and blenders and

souvenirs of the home, i wonder

do the fireflies remember

alex and me and old margarine

tubs homemade lanterns

handmade fairytales

snowwhite-snowstorms

pink lucky rabbit foot(

origins escape me

)and

and a labyrinth under our lawn

winter melts as i blow

out the candles but but but

don't you feel the seasons

are growing short?
