The Blue Earrings For months I’ve kept the universe
in a box. It happens. I get tired of infinity with its sapphire eyes staring out at me from behind mirrors. But today when I slip on all that sea, that sky everything immense seems a little lighter, as if nature isn’t so in-your-face endless after all— or maybe I’ve just gotten used to the idea of this big wavering life being so damn brief. • Lori Lamothe © 2016
