Semi-Random Reflections

Read time: 1 Min.

The dancing bulbs perched atop the candelabra
soothe the midwinter pangs and erode
the snowflake lace adorning the window frame,
thus providing water for the blue jays
who pluck wild seeds before they sprout
and drop them somewhere better for growing
into columns that can uphold a treehouse
or demolish a brick house,
which gets rebuilt stronger and cleaner
but with fewer stories.
