raze it must have
been a gift
from my mother
something meant
to let me see
the stars.

strange how i
can't recall
leaning on it
to enlarge
anything.

i think i always
wanted to know
the true size
of whatever i
happened to
be taking in.

to walk around
in the mundane
magic of youth
with only my
own eyes to
guide me.

i wish i had
it with me now,
if only to marvel
at the hue of its hide.

it was stained
with the same red
i see every day
when i ask myself if
i still have words.
