sometimes
the forest makes me think everything will be okay
even as i see the branches yawning around telephone wires
i have failed to keep so many promises

but, really, i have created no beautiful things.
The man you see here isn’t something i made.
The forest, with its paper stars, is not my doing.
i only see these beautiful things, with eyes that are neither my mother’s, nor my father’s,
pupils wide
trying to take in
everything
trying not
to blink
