i want a woman.
a woman who's fair.
who lives in the woodlands with braids in her hair.
- gabriel kelley
for her i changed pebbles into diamonds, shoes into mirrors, i changed glass into water, i gave her wings and pulled birds from her ears and in her pockets she found the feathers. i asked a pear to become a pineapple, a pineapple to become a lightbulb, a lightbulb to become the moon, and the moon to become a coin i flipped for her love.

come to my window
crawl inside, wait by the light
of the moon
come to my window
i'll be home soon
