sugar coated candy eyes
a smile dripping with wine
the pale girl so wan,
waxing like a moon
she held her pretty head
with a dainty gloved hand
and the stars twinkle beneath
her.
i'd like to ride into town,
smoking spices
filling my dreams with
holly wreaths
hoping on pennies
that you will be waiting
at the station
with a little umbrella
arching over
your secret
stare
and i will be glad
that it isn't
raining.
