Short story: A Key, a Cog, and a Flower.This is all that’s left. A tiny worn cog, a key, and a dried up flower. Its beauty has long since faded away, but its scent is still there, strong as the day I first stood here, under the dappled light of the fig tree. Except this time it is no longer part of a larger forest. It stands alone, an oasis of shade in this great expanse of dead lawn and dirt. I look down at the small collection of objects in my hand. It would be so easy to leave them behind, to forget how I came to have them, and to go on, start moving again. I look out to the edge, the end of the grass, where the shadows are, the concrete, the wire, the walls, where lives a

What Have You Done?Pages and pages of writing for you
Lie on my desk in the middle of the room

But no words come close and it all bleeds away
The ink a black river running off the page

You took a cog from my chest with precision and grace
Now my heart’s a broken metronome with your arms ‘round my waist

Pull my heart on a string like its some kind of game
Let me lose everything except for your name

Now what have you done
I’m not yours to control
But you made my heart explode
As I was pressed against that wall

Of so many journeys to this city’s core

I entered into a cavern strange
Full of objects neatly arranged
Strange dark things that unsettled me
Seemed to struggle to be free

Plants grew outward from the dark
Around the little flying lark
Who soared chirping through the flowers
The blossoms fell in showers

I went out in the cold morn airI went out in the cold morn air
To step a worn out path
Over pavements grey and bare
The same as morning last

A brave small bud pushed through the cracks
Against the weight of earth
The greyish mire poured by man
Suppressed as if of no worth

Grass shines, heavy with dew
Backs bent under the load
Glittering in a golden hue
Between the two straight roads

I take a breath and let it out
Behold! The divine sight
My own sigh born out from doubt
Becomes beauty in the light

It folds over and over itself
Curling, pulsing, rolling
Each speck a tiny firefly
Glistening, gleaming, glowing

It builds a heavenly palace
Floating in the sky
Touching the
