List of gifts to keep at a second home
Helen
( Grade 11 )
If you know all the corners and corridors and crevices in BCIS :
Give me A dusted library I can polish like silver plates . A mild autumn that can be opened like a letter with an opener , like an iron gate cleaned by dry flowers , like a red and black garden with some creams and browns growing in the middle of the city with no less claustrophobia than you , than me , than BCIS itself .
Now , even more gifts .
A corner haunted by slices of the sun , lighting up a bin to throw feathered pen caps in .
