in the necklace of the cloisonne rose
a few blue stars appeared
like sudden sapphires
so diminutive was their appearance
no one took note of this phenomenon
which scarcely could be seen
in any light
even at the most glittering parties
pack time away
all you who favor only what is writ large
for on this
as it slipped into the grass
with a faulty finely golden clasp
hinged a world.
