Prince

One day, a prince from only in my dreams
Suddenly appeared in my doorway

(( Naked
Except for oil-stained jeans
The sweater his mom sewed him for Christmas
A dichromatic scarf ))

Leaning on the doorframe
With a come-hither grin
He offered me his hand
And without thinking
I stepped out into the snow

(( Barefoot
Hair pulled back, uncombed
A torn up T-shirt from the third grade
Vulnerable Mickey Mouse pajamas ))

Without thinking
I took it
