Sarah
Rumpelstiltskin cried
because you belong to me;
baby spun golden,
milky skin stained with roses—
eyes fished from the blue North Sea.

Author's Note
Another poem published in the Fall/Winter issue of the online and print literary journal Segullah. This is untitled because it is a Tanka, although a traditional Tanka it's not.
