My Desk from Left to Right
My Desk from Left to Right
Hopi Mockingbird kachina
Zack’s tree of hearts
small cactus plant
bundle of Oregon sage
lightning bolt stone from Cerrillos Hills
fox sacrum
dry petals
candles from Mira
unknown rock
special wine cork
Angela’s art
photo of Mother Mary statue
with nose chinked off
above her, Maharishi
above him, Dad
Shakespeare quote
wicker bowl of colored pens
white and blue porcelain pot
inside of it— Dracaena Marginata
Window framing cracked Topaz sky
elephant skin mountains
skeletal cholla & Juniper soup
sometimes flickers or scrubjays floating
to the top
blurred silhouette
of me
remembering my 8th grade English teacher
Ms. Mitchell
and how she got rid of every mirror in her house
never knew why
but feel like doing the same
can’t relate on the level of skin, neck up
best look to my desk and window
to see who I really am.
