lobelia

 lobelia 


you look so fine

in your tallest blue ballgown 

crinolined and suave


as the midnight horses steady

to pull the golden coach

at pantomime’s curtain call


look out behind you


button’s buds are tightly bound

his eyes rise to your eye’s occasion 

as the iced slipper so becoming of winter

fits the price of spring-flower’s gown
