\n1.
\nBecause they were religious, useless,
\nfragile and fearless.<\/p>\n
\nBecause they circled the world,
\nand took the form of my summer dreams.<\/p>\n
\nBecause whoever invented marbles
\nmust have believed angels were round.<\/p>\n
\nBecause the chipped ones were more beautiful.<\/p>\n
\nBecause the distance of their journeys
\nwas an exact equation of space and time.<\/p>\n
\nBecause there were rules.<\/p>\n
\nBecause they were earth, sun, moon and stars
\ncupped in the palm of one hand.<\/p>\n
\nBecause they spun the sun into diamonds,
\nand sparkled like snake eyes in the winter moon.<\/p>\n
\nBecause when they surrounded me,
\nI was safe from armies of sadness.<\/p>\n
\nBecause a pretty girl once blew on my cat\u2019s eye
\nand made it glow.<\/p>\n
\nBecause a purie contains emotions
\nit took me thirty years to comprehend.<\/p>\n
\nBecause when I found them again
\nin my aging parents\u2019 basement,
\nburied under old Christmases
\nand half a life of loss and illusion,
\nthey remembered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
