June 15 -

This can’t be the end of the world

Maggie Devers

I finally super-glued my daughter’s doll furniture back together

It’s only been two Christmases since I meant to do that

We’ve come too far to end here.

She hasn’t started to read yet, but she’s close.

She weaves stories in her head

And layers them on her day

Living two lives at once

What is real anyway?

I can’t get rid of the nagging feeling that this is it

She stays in the IKEA kids’ space and I panic something terrible will happen

I don’t know why

But when I come back she’s in a powerful stance at the chalkboard easel

Holding on to make something important

To show her new friend

To share their art, their spirit
