the flight of every bird paints a shadow across my face— [the soft brush of feathers, the cool hand of cloud and sky] maybe this is how it feels to be marked deeply, owned by the invisible

A tiny cryptid builds an altar out of mushroom caps and pinecone fragments. A woodland goddess watches with bemused affection. #TinyStories
