Silvered Memories
she danced on the edges of curtained dreams
filling each one
with her song
as she held her heart
between her hands
awaiting its pale entry,
a shimmer,
a remembrance--
and as she followed her memories
across frozen waterways
crusted with iced stars in the night
she opened a pocket
and watched
the sky drip
its silvery cream
into its crease.
she reached out
and touched its essence
wrapped around her
like so many stars
punched into paper airplanes
a remembrance of who they are
in the night sky.
