a field guide to luxury

An unread book, and a whole afternoon.
An empty page, and a working pen.
A dollar at the bottom of a laundry bin.
The first patters of a Sunday rain.
The same record played again and again.
A borrowed egg for a birthday cake.
The secrets to a magic trick.
Anything the hands can make.
A scatter of leaves and a lawn and a rake.
An almost full moon, and you—awake.
