we'll lodge in the cracks in the ceiling overnight
when the earth shifts
being tiny has its benefits;God is not remiss
or lean against in the tallest grass
broken off pieces of angel statuary
I want the one with the bruised wing
I call dibs.
somehow we'll manage this way;we'll live
living off one wild strawberry a day
for dinner the two peas in a pod
they'll find us odd in town
but they did anyway
we'll still live on
under the bluebird's song
weaving the cornflowers
into blue crowns.
