coppelia dreamed in small fountains
twinkling in Christmas light variations
or she dreamed of dancing
and there she was in lillac
twirling in a jewel box
the supreme toy for very joy
in orchid in the late afternoon.
at the children's party, just unwrapped
with the sashed girls all dressed up in
dreamy polished cottons and the little boys said only
where is the cake
will someone arrange the tune
so that it might be possible
she thought she said aloud
that I might have some too
and the strawberry ice
as pink as my shoes...
who could hear her really
in that crowd
maybe the family dog
but he wasn't talking
all they could see was a tiny
tarentella
fairy floating,,making the best of things.
jette and all of that or pirouette but still
stuck you might say till someone turned the key;
sidelined with no dessert;
it's certain she wanted to blurt...
