A hummingbird’s egg, trust, and the heart.
Glass windows, tissue paper, and a dried leaf.
Lightbulbs, balance, and snowflakes.
Tears, butterfly wings, and antiques.
Soft-shelled crabs, a whisper, and a web.
Each one precious. Each one fragile.
None quite so as a child’s life.
For Leo. 1/18/12 – 2/19/26
