resting in the wishing well
out of circulation—
so many wishes

time is the name
of the silent spectator
at every game

time sits
on my shoulder
like a hooded crow

Did you get the new cellphone you were looking for? Make sure you recycle your old one!

"There are hundreds of thousands of cellphones lying around. They have coltan in them. Coltan is often illegally mined," Dr. Jane said, "leading to the destruction of the rainforests."

The field is paper,
Footsteps drawn across white snow,
Nocturnal journeys.

Are you looking for magic? Have you put it down somewhere, placed common sense on top of it by accident. Do you remember how it hummed, if it shone for you and beckoned? Can you think of a happy thought? It can be the smallest thing, like stars balanced on your fingers…

around mossy banks
