Unfold
My fingers are too thick
to do graceful folds well
on an origami crane
Angles overlap
Like when we built our house
started off a half an inch short
so by the end
the whole thing was crooked
Crooked little house
Crooked little crane
Thick fingers swollen and misshapen
I unfold it and start again
Lining up crooked cranes
along the windowsills
Imperfectly peering out
into an imperfect world
as imperfect as I
