Wallpaper a green green…cardamom?
Old-forest canopy at midday?
An organic host for some
fleur-de-lis-inspired flourish.
You gave the penny to the angel, the lever
made her nod — through tiny bronze
collection box slot, into the dark,
I followed each / until drop
met afternoon heap.
Great Nana, you let me work out the base’s
stopper to restock
while adults with adult faces
watched. Copper dust suspended like
faith. Electrostatic build-up in the keep. / Repeat.
