Offering
in my apartment’s
hidden corners,
i have placed
two ceramic bowls,
containing hopes.
cobalt, periwinkle;
lotus flower patterns.
two smoothed,
polished stones:
first, amethyst.
etched upon
its surface,
happiness —
second, white quartz.
etched upon
its surface,
dream —
two butterflies.
flight. color.
organic tobacco.
earth. breath.
