Glass kiss (for Beau)
Seven dwarves hands with
their bent bones and scars,
a Mother’s and Father’s done best,
dressed Snow White in the Right T-shirt.
The crystal coffin lay bare
flesh so perfect; gazers languished.
Nothing could
remove the polish and stain of their tears.
Once upon a time and all along,
in the enlightened Kingdom of Now,
a receptive prince kisses the glass
and warms the mirror in his changing room.
