Objects Used to Prop Open a Window

Dog bone, stapler, cribbage board, garlic press because this window is loose—lacks suction, lacks grip. Bungee cord, bootstrap, dog leash, leather belt because this window had sash cords. They frayed. They broke. Feather duster, thatch of straw, empty bottle of Elmer's glue because this window is loud—its hinges clack open, clack shut. Stuffed bear, baby blanket, single crib newel because this window is split. It's dividing in two. Velvet moss, sagebrush, willow branch, robin's wing because this window, it's pane-less. It's only a frame of air.
