random notes on creative nonfiction

I want to uncover from real to real,
though I can barely get beyond imagined.
The role my supposings play, though, makes it fun:
a biography of air, of ants, or aunts,
a piece of driftwood once a tree.

A foundation crumbles,
a cemetery stone speaks.
My face in the mirror
draws down.

I wander long hours, imagining
why this was, or what that might have been,
what we might be.
