Gave my daughter, age one
who could draw better than walk
a pad of Post-its, the tiny ones.
She crayon scribbled
peeled each one
to hide in corners
behind books
under the toothpaste tube
inside shoes.
A year later, moving out
cleaning up
I find behind
the clothes dryer
a nest woven with
gatherings of moss
dryer lint
lined by her Post-its
stolen by mice
who appreciate
fresh art.
