Lemon Popsicles

                                       One lemon popsicle, unwrapped
    sticks to the shivering tongue of a little girl,
    lying poolside at the country club;
    while overhead planes lull her to sleep.

    Drifting to a place where only fairies live,
    she becomes part of the daffodils
    adorned in the softest yellows,
    as the taste of lemon trickles down her throat.
