fawned within your eyes
at last: your secrets --
those memories untold;
that distant happiness
untouched by barrenness
without need
of fallopian tubes, eyesight
and agile feet
you wait ... subtle
the Visitor approaching;
frail the frame of fables
reconstructing bygone dreams
what happened
to the Sleeping Beauty?
who lost the glass slipper?
does Cinderella remember me?
your glance turned inwards,
but just before I leave
you look up,
saying:
I love you, Myra
your voice jingling
joy
your eyes sparkling
stars
of recognition
and I carry you with me
into the locomotory of life
your fragrance
a fleeting presence
on the palms of my hands
