you must have read all the stories by now you tell yourself
(or They do)
but something wistful says, there's more
as there must be since there's more of anything else,
more clouds, more ice cream, certainly, more rose bushes
and the Princess sighs almost distraught, self taught
in the King's own libraries.
whenever I rise in the morning mist
(she lived there, too)
I think there must be more than this
an ending more surprising than the last
with more fantastical pictures
as I want a dress to match what Will Be
additionally to What Was
be "if" velvet or not; oh, if you must
repeat yourself
then let it be yards of cherry velvet
or the shade of creme de menthe
spilling over into
little, silk lined poems.
