Look Inside

I take a string of worry beads,
a blue-black feather, a fossil shell,
a Li Pai poem printed on rice
paper, an ivory toothpick, three

Spanish coins, a sprig of sage,
a bronze donkey-bell, seven
yucca seeds, an obsidian flake,
a pocket watch stopped at 2:30,

one redwood cone, a jade
countercharm for double happiness,
a small glass of port wine,
go to the window, and look inside.
