R.P.
diction and dictation rock to sleep
a world with little love
for star-speckled elegance.
i hear you, constellation –
your song sounds of soft lace,
brilliance everlasting,
and time-proof.
she has been and always will be.
there was no beginning,
only the shine
of a head held high.
graceful steps among deities
make fools of even angels.
the best things in life
are pocket-sized.
