Starlets

...solid or print but never monochrome..."

Starlets

I can't say I'm lackluster
in my mottled dress

The world is either
solid or print
but never monochrome

It's your breath
painting the air
with rainbow colors

that sets me floating
like helium-filled balloons

I'm high like crystals
on a chandelier
instead of earlobes

dangling like stars
