Doll eyes that seem unreal.
Single rose perched atop her bun.
The red matching her blouse and her lips.
Her beady purse dangling by,

Alone in my office
after a full day of teaching

looking at the picture

a discarded toy behind her
smiling for daddy
so full of...

belly's grumblin', heart's a yearnin',
crusty-eyed...

Full of mischief and surprize
A flower opening up its petals
