The Small Make Do

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.
