Maggie Devers
I finally super-glued my daughter’s doll furniture back together It’s only been two Christmases since I meant to do that We’ve come too far to end here. She hasn’t started to read yet, but she’s close. She weaves stories in her head And layers them on her day Living two lives at once What is real anyway? I can’t get rid of the nagging feeling that this is it She stays in the IKEA kids’ space and I panic something terrible will happen I don’t know why But when I come back she’s in a powerful stance at the chalkboard easel Holding on to make something important To show her new friend To share their art, their spirit And that image grounds me To keep on for now and not despair, This isn’t the end.
