Marlowe Chain with black agate stone
c
maybe she liked to stay indoors with them
to fool herself
into thinking she could be small there
to hide away
or maybe the guise of safety was just an excuse to enjoy
toys cars ushered in and out of shallow water
thoughts of percentages, cubed numbers and the colour of a flame when copper burns
laughing when it got too hard to do the maths
piano tunes
no expectations
sun on wall visitations
simple hours and boring days
ordinary types of things
that make the remarkable things,
actually, remarkable things.
