“In Sleep’s Cape”
Sunday, 20 August 2017
“In Sleep’s Cape” by Karen L. George was composed from words found in “Snow-White and Rose-Red.” The first stanza reads:
Some nights she’s a woman
in a house made of logs wedged with mud
seated fireside, piecing a dress
of quail wings and air
tender leaves and milkteeth
needle piercing in, out
catches, scatters light
