Building the architecture of the dead

Fans of yellow ginkgo
abstract the blue.

Below, workers mine the soil,
real estate for the dead.

The shifting tenure of letters,
cling to marble and stone.

The earth moves for no one.

Do you believe in magic?

At the end of March, my daughter had a 5th Birthday party. It is a milestone birthday in so many ways. As she is very interested in magic I found a magician who came and entertained Aurora and a group of her friends. This year she handled all the invites and it was the first time that she lots of playmates from her kinder. The topic of magic comes up all the time and I love hearing the way her lively imagination concocts theories about everything! Though she has a good lashing of healthy skepticism, seen here as she contemplates the magician's hat!
