black velvet

.

past the dragonflies’ graveyard
and past the night sky
where a rainbow once hung
she weaved black dreams
that had no edges
with a song
that would drown every sailor
of seven seas

she stroked her lashes
with black velvet
and wore her black dreams
and her black cashmere

she made it her home
