a clean slate ready for some dreams — blackboard ready with room to fly

Day 23 — Book Writing/Birthday Month

I love makers.

Those who do

With their hands.

I just rehung

The blackboard

That hung out in the garage

Of my Grandparents

House.

I learned to draw

On this blackboard

As did all of us Wirgowskis.

And we’d plot and plan

The things we were to

Make in my Grandpa’s workshop

Together.

This blackboard is one of my favorite

Things.

Such deep satisfaction

Crafting

Something.

Building something

With someone else.

That idea spark.

With love

Care

Thoughtfulness

And fun.

I’ve been trying to

Remember the last thing

We built together.

I think it was a bird feeder

That I still have.

It is a Japanese birdhouse

As he loved that style

Even though he never

Once left Bay City, Michigan.

I’m looking forward to

Doing some dreaming here.

I just gotta get some chalk.

For this beautiful blank slate.
