BLOW AN EYELASH

blow an eyelash off of your fingertip

and make a wish

wish for happiness wish for

glassy-eyed glee

wish for homeostasis

wish for renewed equalibrium and wish for

the strength of ten men

wish for clear bright eyes and

glowing skin and wish

to be absolved of all smirking sin

wish for rewind and wish for

health

wish for family

and wish them some wealth

blow the eyelash off of your fingertip and

watch as it scuttles through the air

--briefly--

and then becomes an anvil

to be lost amongst the dust-bunnies

at your feet

happy wednesday!
