she tiptoed on teaspoons,
drank sunsets from a straw,
taught a goldfish to waltz
in a teacup of awe.
her shadow wore slippers
made of old lullabies,
and her laughter?
a jellybean storm in disguise.
she planted her dreams
in a shoebox of stardust,
whispered,
"grow wild, not wise."
when asked her name,
she smiled sideways,
and became
a question mark in the sky.
