The poet is a collector of small things who says Here,
and holds out her hand with something found on a walk.
It’s a leaf that could be a flame it’s so red,
or a piece of wood that looks like a face.
The poet picks from the dirt to find what’s lost and forgotten,
gives homes to strays, preserves the dead and the living.
