She has spent her nights crawling the walls
of her bedroom, tossing and turning
in dark hours crowded with loneliness
and unfulfilled desires: lost
beneath a moonless ceiling while orion
plays hide-and-seek with the curve of the earth.
she knows the sound of the paper boy
slamming the front door and feeding
hungry letter boxes their daily diet
of vellum and ink; lies that rattle
cold and metallic at 4 a.m.
draco, draco, she whispers to the shadows
as cats bluster battle cries
beneath her window. or

next door neighbours? or the wind,

she has lost half a lifetime searching
for the brightest star in the sky when
she should have been looking
for the 48th.
inchoate, she is hunting now
for something else
entirely.

The stone felt smooth beneath Alexander’s fingertips, despite its obvious age. No pits or cracks marred the carvings that covered every inch of the wall. He rubbed his thumb over an intricate two inches depicting a man standing on a mountaintop. A long cloak whipped wildly behind him as he gazed over the world, frozen in time. “Kit carved this?”
“He made all of this,” Marie answered, gesturing to the stonework that covered the clearing. “He was a master mason in life, until he was burned for being a witch. He continued his work after death for a time, always challenging
