Make-Believe
when a crow lifts a wing
the universe sleight-of-hand
crushed velvet, black and imprinted
with star blanks, glow-in-the-dark
two-penny fallen off
a knot
leaves a stub of string
to hang skunked, the whiff of decay
cheap mascara and dollar-store jewelry
sheen, glitter, and a quiet shuffling
wind conspires the face of the deep
takes off
. ~
Al Rempel
