Mantelpiece
Five origami birds on wires, twirling in the fire’s
updraft. A battered bugle. A horse just coming into being. A piece of obsidian.
Two candleholders that throw shadows of angels. Ganesh. Buddha happy fat.
Buddha lean and elegant. Silver metal bird on the wing. Fourteen coquina shells
on a piece of slate. A little perching ceramic sparrow. Incense, incense
holder, incense burner. The wedding present crystal clock. A dried out
pomegranate. A fossilised twist of wood. A blackbird brooch.
like a little shrine...
