The Toaster
A silver-scaled dragon with jaws flaming red
Sits at my elbow and toasts my bread.
I hand him flat slices, and then, one by one,
He hands them back when he sees they are done.

Mrs. Moon
Mrs Moon
sitting up in the sky
little old lady
rock-a-bye
with a ball of fading light
and silvery needles
knitting the night

The Sun
The sun is a glowing spider
that craws out
from under the earth
to make her way across the sky
warming and weaving
with her bright old fingers
of light.
