Silk Alabaster

 

When you’re ready

You fly.

Are you not shy?

She asked, placing

Her golden apple

On the table.

Are you not red

When you’re read

Revealing your label?

Some wait for

A spaceship

Some pray for

The rapture

Some do it each day

Depends what you’re after.

Is it right

What you write?

I don’t know,

It just seems to flow

Through me.

This word has one t,

 She pointed and slipped,

From blonde to brunette

To silk alabaster.
