Pictures

Girl took me outside today
and put me by a purple leaf.
A snake stared with eyes of glitter,
and Girl ran away.
When I awoke,
darkness was floating down
on the garden,
catching on petals,
covering my face like a cold blanket.
Then lights turned on in the sky
like lamps in a faraway ceiling,
and I saw they were pictures:
someone dancing, a fish leaping,
and a road like white dust shining.
When Girl came, I was said to go inside
where there are no pictures
on the ceiling.
