2006 Kisses and Popsicles Spring Poetry Contest

Second Place Winner: Daniela Elza

 

 

in earth dreams

 

 

her limbs          are all sky

her body           inhabited

by wild birds             and busy

mammals-

an endangered           species.

 

she lost             her head

where reason             gives

the impression          everything is

clear.

 

she motions      to dance

a rhythm                    spins

and turns           attracted

to light.

 

if she had eyes          I would see

the stars             she holds

dear.

 

then           there are           all

the words          she escapes

slips past           their curved

 

seashell ears     as they listen

to capture                   her

 

on the page.                my words

are already        changing her

 

while she weaves        gossamer

and soft moss              to hang

 

in autumn          woods.
