Soft Pillows
Senses reeling, searching for a
platform of sensitivity,
Turning as a carousel,
desirous of delicate proclivity.
Sound the fairy bell and
Hear the steps so sweetly made,
Upon the porcelain shelves,
Shifted forward, left to fade.
Along the edges, change direction
Puff the satin covering,
Lift the canopy, toggle the tufts
Leave the ruffles hovering!
