Little things that no one needs
Little things to joke about
Little landscapes, done in beads
Little morals, woven out
Little wreaths of gilded grass
Little brigs of whittled oak
Bottled painfully in glass
These are made by lonely folk

Lonely folk have lines of days
Long and faltering and thin
Therefore — little wax bouquets
Prayers cut upon a pin
Little maps of pinkish lands
Little charts of curly seas
Little plats of linen strands
Little verses, such as these
