Music Box

Music Box

first it was

a plastic ballerina

whirl of white

spinning into the night

 

then it was red velvet

edged in antique gold

like a seat at the opera

longing for love

 

last it was silver

a cameo center

blue velvet

inside

the color of sky

a Switzerland sound

of a tinkling town

warmth of the hearth

frosted glass

full of flurries
