"Milky" Interesting How the Fates are Fickle creatures/women/gentle ones Waiting For the lights to come on I sit, listening for the ringing in my ears Wishing I could feel warm fur And the surety of wood floor beneath me Blue and white Broken chimney and built-in bookshelves Windows to the future Imagining Laying the rugs upon the worn planks Dancing naked in the darkness Hoping I will not be disappointed As my dreams wait to become curdled © 1998 Andrea K
