“Wishes”

Wishes

(Published in Graduate Anthology)

By Jennifer Christgau-Aquino

behind my bed

before my window

trees sweep

fog begs

for their ears of glass 

& body of wings

free leaves & 

popping seeds

i hover 

the short hook

of a fly fisherman

still in my lobes & lashes

my whispering knees

i coax & capture 

a chest of pillows

we feather the wind  

tickle grass, dew

*For Adeline & John
