Only upon return did we notice:
the way shadows slept in the sunlight
the tilt of the branch of the flowering tree
one lone robin singing forth into the world
a ragged fox slinking through tangles of bushes
an open door otherwise long kept closed
a hand, beckoning, a greeting of remembrance
a kind word

This museum of you contains dust and debris, and artifacts worth remembering,
like: half-written poems and unsung songs and essays you meant to throw away, but never did,
scribbled etches on paper from an imaginative kid, and notes you wrote to someone you lost,
receipts of objects where you circled the cost, gewgaws and baubles you didn't want anyone else to see,
but still – I looked in and wandered around, for there, on the inside, on the scattered grounds of the museum of you, I discovered a mirror: the museum of me
Numbers, arrayed like artwork -

Hummingbirds dance and dip, then for a moment, hover to take a sip from a cup of sweet nectar: the flower, a tap of sweet rejoice

Distant cousins to both dogs and cats,
they eat on the run,
with sharpened claws that never retract
and scavenge the dirt of earth for what remains;
thin, muscular, eerily powerful in a pack

She was trying to tell me something about her life
We were tender in the space between black and white
And the best thing I ever did for her was to resist the urge to interfere, obscure
This is friendship, after all, yeah

The wheels go 'round
The wipers go swish
The driver shouts out
The kids make a wish
