Her Dream

Her Dream
Her dream grew
Too large 
Imagination spilling
Filling her room 
Needing out
Creeping upon its windowed reflection  
In pane

Shelved dolls listening  
Hearing the dream’s gasp 
Unable to split the seam of weighted eyelids
Lashed
Their response stuck in frozen smiles
Pearly teeth clenched
Anchored in place
No way to alert 
Escape
