Thumbelina At Christmas Tide

surely there is a way to live within the rose the
sky the cloud the honey drop
 the honeysuckle sigh

the hidden waterfall behind the Green

of the glazed over over stream 
ah but where will they send their christmas cards
all frosted with rooftop glitter:
the ones on parchment, pastel, water-coloured snows...

...snowed under,

comfy inside the Rose,

the refurbished Walnut-
how would she know?
