Princess

A little girl up she grew
in a valley bowl of sky;
a Heidi in white snow
with grandfather and goats.

She slept beneath a cloud
of milky stars and whirled
into a Dorothy wind. Up
& up she flew

into the arms of dwarves,
into a crystal crypt
and a forest made of thorns.
She climbed a rope of hair

up to a giant's lair. Hand
in hand with Hansel, she
clicked her heels and fell.
And fell. And fell. And fell.
