Wishing Cranes--C.
The street-level apartment,
abandoned from wear and tornado
last spring, tells us love stories
in graffiti inscriptions.
Close enough to the road
that it leans looming over it,
the complex slumps, unused,
except by an eight year old boy;
old enough to have been told not to
and young enough to not understand.
He has hands that stutter—

because he folds paper
like he seals envelopes:
with purpose.
He has a mind that isn't reluctant;

when the beings
that can grant wishes
are in the spaces
between constellations?
Together, his head and hands
craft paper cranes.
