 I dwindled

The forgotten flakes
With milk
And berries
Purged the Au Gratin
    Cheeseheads
  I rallied root beer
For foraging
 Forget me nots
In a field of flowers
Like Death with a reaper
    In the fields of barley
 Great sighs of dark clouds
And ambrotype photographs
   I polished the shoes of children
And plied the mince pies
To ferrets and beavers
True to my word
You are
A straight shooter 
  The Queen of Moons
Or of Swords
Lake above 
Fire below
   You threw the coins 
 And got the Aardvark
It's gone now
But the signs still there
