Costume Jewelry
Sun comes as a thief
tip toeing into day.
Light sways,
trees crackle.
Rhinestone light spills
on crystal webs,
trees blaze
with diamonds.
She bends down,
stretches out long fingers,
strokes the glint and glitter
on branches and twigs,
and picks off jewels
adorning bare trees.
Ice sparks
swirl and fly,
rainbows shatter,
drop and clink.
Sun opens her hands
to admire her treasures,
they’re empty,
she’s been robbed.
