A PALE CLOUD IN HER ROSEBUD MIND

opaque without stars

the navy darkness shines

the baby colours them in

just by dreaming, grace note

wispy smiling in her sleep

or angels guide her hands

her fists like flowers uncurl

as she makes the world on which

invisible moonliight shines

by indirection

in perfection

a pale cloud in her rosebud mind.
