Light As a Feather
She sashays, skipping down the stairs,
her hair drifting thin and soft around her ears,
feet barely brushing the steps.
Her skirt swirls about her knees like cotton candy.
The dress she wears matches her fuzzy eyelashes:
brown and soft, like sparrows.
When she passes over the threshold
of inside to out, she sails off into
the sky, praying for the right breeze
to carry her back to Earth.
