RAPUNZEL

Mon 26 March 2012

 

There is a time and place

for everything

My grandmother

would not approve

of the girl

who brushes her golden locks

on the 8.21 to Waterloo

 

Dust revealed

by spring sunlight

eddies and floats

from tresses to train

and selfish Rapunzel

removes fallen gold

from the brush

and deposits it

at our feet
