Anna Lee
By Rebecca L. Morrison

She lingers; a peroxide nest
contented atop slender shoulders,

fizzling heavy ‘gainst humid skies.

She titters, applauds; she
sighs; she sings. Sugar and sky

coat her throat when she
rises beneath snowy
mountaintops.

Teeth crunch, alarms sound,
fingers clack with languid wile. Yet, she

listens, softly sleeping when
windows breeze.
