She writes the note to your parents with the same hand
she held the ruler with. She is left-handed and assures
them it is a miracle she detected it so soon. You get
glasses instead. Every year a little bit thicker, but you wear
them well and when you take them off, the world
is much smoother. Vaseline edges and shadowy glows.
When your last prescription runs out, we’ll go
to the house at the bay and throw glass bottles at the sun.

But dragonfly bites only graze my arms
in the afternoon. You’re searching for silhouettes in the hallway
while I have old friends for tea. Chamomile
with rustling leaves. Honey with wind chimes.
Shortbread with a closing door.

Imagery was so important to this for me, so just that it made it through to you means so much.
