little lion on the shelf
next to Bible from Bethlehem with a cover of olive wood
Christmas cards
and an olive wood bud vase, no bud
horses out to pasture, trees fading into fog
yellow wildflowers in a verdant forest
set on the wall
as if to make the horizon deeper, more mysterious
and out of doors
the wall holds these
they do not carry off the wall
except in imagination
the room smiles and sighs
