mage; monhegans schoolteacher 2004 by jamie Wyeth
dappled moonlight shines
on fluttering words
turned translucent
with drips and steam
stars on the horizon
blink knowingly
onto lavender snow
the outsider looking in
the insider looking out
we are shadows
on the pages
deep inside
we see the truth
of ourselves.

Just lovely Kay. I love the 'lavender snow'.The school teacher was a little brave with the curtains open though!
