pale orchid assoluta shimmering on the stage:
in tulle, beyond the demi-glittering waltz length dress
your soul was made for jeweled breezes,
sequined to perfection.
what difference can it make what role you play;
it's only the difference between rose and rose
in an heirloom garden of poses
perfectly realized.
pale orchid assoluta, in colours of vanishing
for a moment, stay-mid-air-
in the pearlized daydream of the little girl
in a peach sundress who is
taking flying leaps by herself
all over the summer carport
dreaming she is like you,
assolutely beautiful
