emotionless in your summer dress
but painless only from the rain
on a weekday afternoon.
when are you going to learn, little girl
that "destiny" is hope?
You've just grown so tiny over many years
A little baby dressed in leather and lace
with a cherub face, so rosy red
that man made kind of cuteness.
and to be kind these days wins only praise
for a minute or two, then it's gone.
It fades into the atmosphere
and befriends the stars
the kindest of them all.
