for dreamgirls

hug upon
my curves
like a road untraveled
golden thread unraveled
from a silken gown
my landscape is none other than lovely
plunging, daringly full
and dreamed stitched

do you dream as well as
you dine, drunkenly they ask me
or maybe as well
as you sleep
ma?
avec la vie si douce,
pourquoi vous rêver?


you watch
i'll walk upon me with
young come hither eyes
yellow flower
in my tender hair, child
spirit meek, but never mild

star too hot to touch
but
the spindle pricks like this

as you sleep on the beauty
that your fantasy
is too small
to capture
in your baby bottles


but you just keep on rubbin'--
waiting for a wish
