Sophie

It looks like snow

but is a petal

peach. plum or pear

sitting in her hair not melting

like snow would

It looks like fur

but is plastic

fluffy nylon

making it seem

as though she is in

Chekov's orchard

or a picture at an exhibition

But her truest look

is the upturned lip

which is either smile or laugh

possibly both

and the eyes' skyward gaze

to the heaven

that says this life is mine!
