january seventh time

fairies make their dining room candles out of earwax.
and use matchstick steps, and eat the tiny red edges
of already-bitten strawberries. fairies often
wait for heavily-perfumed women to walk by
so that they can bathe in the air. fairies sleep
in the ash left in the fireplace; it reminds them
of the best part of toasted marshmallows.
