Look at those snowflakes, Father,
why don’t you make me one of them?
Why don’t you just make me a snowflake and
be done with it.
Here in this new house
in the woods, away from past grief, I am
a map, with
no conscience.
I go from mirrors
to evidence,
with no stories to remember,
a child that knows not to put his hand
to the fire.
Why don’t you make me a snowflake?
They fall and are forgotten.
Make me of water
that runs into spring.
Let this place be a home.
And let the mirrors sing.
of badger and moon-rise.
Let this place be yours
With auspices, and blessing.
