my week in objects (mostly).

birthday tickets, and other things.

1. this envelope.

{with special tickets for a freshly minted nine-year-old.}

2. this old mat.

{for making the floor so much more forgiving.}

3. this hefty tape dispenser.

{for actually working.}

4. this wonky ironing board cover.

{for hiding the the old one.}

5. this bag o’ blankets.

{for not requiring folding.}

other things:

poetry for weary minds.

the willows are sleeping.

thresholds.

no thank you.
