Wish

Clasp in your hand
the single black feather

left in your garden
as a gift from a crow.

Whisper the words
that you learned from the wind.

Find dragonfly spit
and a snake’s shed skin.

Find a flower’s heartbeat
And the moon’s lost silver.

Now gather them together
with the crow’s black feather ...

and wish ...
