Fall from Heaven

*This was a poem about a crow that dropped a stick at my feet
but my phone ate it and I just now, days later, noticed that the post was empty*

I filed my taxes, my fafsa, got state sponsored health insurance, have a plan for school.

Look, the peak ahead and the valley behind
I leave nest building to crows
and quietly make my way through anxiety
one list at a time

The crows continue their building and watch me as I watch them
I read three hundred pages a day
count raindrops
rebuild my collection of four leafed clovers
one at a time
