moon's ivory painting ~ floating ~ in the water |
white unicorn leaps off story book picture ~ on to white page ~ and wanders unseen |
horses gaily prancing on the carousel ~ silhouetted ~ against vivid orange sky |
ethereal and dreamlike ~ she swam ~ back to source |
a frog ~ sitting perfectly still, waiting ~ for a fly |
the unseen ~ had changed ~ their invisible places |
I watched you sleeping ~ dawn lit up the sky ~ your eyes opened so slowly |
floating ~ in the sea of unconscious ~ aware |
she opened the attic door ~ to racks of shoes and clothes ~ without bodies or feet |
dark and sinister ~ staring eyes behind the mask ~ with strange fixed smile |
faceted crystal branches ~ sparkling ~ in the sun |
a point of light in the darkness |
under the silence of the moon I watch |
