A young girl dreams the world
her eyes a doll-like pearl
a knight dressed in silver
descends the balcony
that is draped with
the hair of the girl
where birds are flying in and out of
and a leopard is feeding its young
this all takes place
within the glass shell of an egg
and the egg is about to burst
into its countless colors
all seen in the reflection of
the eye of the girl
that is now almost certainly sleeping
as are the leopards and the birds
as the day dreams the girl
and the world slowly becomes pearl
