empress could only watch
through her crystalline eyes

as the stars dazzled her
and enthralled her,
Since she of course 
rode through the world
like she was a king.

tingling like fabric
and the minty breath
of the moon,
when it touched her cheek.

was enough to take
her gold-ish breath away
and throw it to the

empress floated among the seaweed
and laughed as the tiny fish
touched her feet

which were nothing more than wool
to rub against your agitated face.

and the stars, that had been friends with the anemone,

went and wove themselves
into her breath
and eyes

and hair.
