more than a little disconcerting to discover
the dolls have lives of their own.
that while we sleep
around the dollhouse they all creep
rearranging the furniture
taking the curtains down
from the tiny windows
to rinse them out
in a sink with no running water.
how do they manage
they have some advantage
we don't have, for sure
how lilylike pure they stand
at daylight prim but a
little out of breath
if inspected more closely
so we think.
and order up new drapes for Christmas
and a working sink.
