Alice

My cousin

Is a little girl

Frozen in time

Her smile swallows her face

Her eyes shine

And she looks at me

In red and purple

A yellow burning world

Spinning by so fast

So recklessly behind her

She looks at me

A blue furious time

Running so swiftly by her

My cousin

Frozen so

In a moment of innocence

A time of happiness

When neither the time

Nor the world

Could have undone

Her smile
