Levity


from the ABC set Circles and Straight Lines

Levity

She said she levitated in the hallway
Appearing in the dark wooden mirror
Puppeting her reflection in the glass.

There she was, framed
By a colourful but delicate bell collection,
Undusted, one rung for dinner.

She too a belle,
And in moments of levity
Must have been smiling or serene...

I imagine her rainbow
The three walls of the hall,
Her elaborate dreamworld
Sneaking out of the letterbox
And taking this long to get here...
