This story has no direction.
It takes a hike in the woods,
gets lost amongst the trees.
In the café at the end of the world,
it eats black grapes,
comments on the weather
and plays heads and tails
with foreign coins.
Who cares about it?
Only the only child
who can’t get to sleep
because outside the window
the black grapes on the vine
translate the wind into Morse code
and birds hit the glass
like coins falling onto a table.
