Wind Chimes

by Angelina Morin


A pastel store with chimes and decor meant to be strung to a tree or in a garden

She had wind chimes hanging from her ceiling in the first room you entered 

They harmonized together with the wind of every visitor 

Japanese beetles that are commonly mistaken for ladybugs

All they were missing was that red coat 

Roses, she loved roses

And hummingbirds  

Her home was warmed by her grandchildren and creatures 

Sweet strawberry hard candy, and warm milk with our fruit loops 

She’d take you in, if you wandered to her doorstep

The longer I look the more I see her 

But not her,  

Just the memory of her that I breathe into

To become the wind to 

Her immortal chime
