happy to wear the colours of hydrangea
fifteen petticoats and a mysterious glow
we came up in the summer times
and longed for snow
and read the story of the snow maiden secretly
disguised.
in the space age they said we favor science
over the fairy tales but I asked now
when the leaves became crimson unexpectedly
under my breath so as not to disturb
the focus of the class
what fairy tale is greater than Space
oh please, think fast
if not the every day's "at lasts"?
