I
walked
on
jagged
lines
upon
the
fallen
pine
,
the
etch
-a-sketch
scenery
was
scratchy
and
black
against
the
smooth
night
sky
,
interrupted
by
rhinestone
stars
.
They
twinkled
like
windchimes
sing
.
I
stood
on
a
rickety
dock
that
wobbled
like
an
old
man
who
lost
his
cane.
Water
moved
silently
gliding
below
its
own
surface
keeping
its
secret
depths
shifting
endlessly
.
I
saw
a
shooting
star
tumble
down
the
blue
wallpaper
searching
for
a
place
to
die
out
,
and
I
wished
for
you
that
you
could
keep
this
beauty
in
an
etch
-a-sketch
in
your
pocket
to
share
with
others
to
share
the
wonders
.

thanks
to
farmfish
for
slipping
me
the
idea
of
beauty
in
ones
pocket
.
