hyperbole I miss you so
tall tale too,
where did you go
fish story hung out to dry
all the mermaids start to cry
mirror in the mirror and far beyond
what have they done with
the once upons
where have they stowed you
illusory words
why have they silenced the merry, bright birds
in the greenwood o
the music box turning, calliope too
carousel estrangements
river flooded, too
gold taffy apples no longer at sea
in the secret hold for you or for me
all of the fireflies are flying away
who will light up the summers?
