Oh Katy!

She is a strange little girl,
that doll of mine.
Her queer, laughable moments
hang softly between the true
animated reactions of her life.
She cannot predict her disposition, nor would
my heart ever try to look deeper
into that angelic gapped grin she flashes.
Oh Katy, little girls such as you ballerina dance
about moods like a kite to the wind.  
When will she ever come down for a breath?

She is a shining star to me,
that whimsical gift of mine.
Deliberate sounds make folly or pain
of any second she is on stage in plain view.  
With all the tears and through many a labored slumber,
spent catering to you, I would never sigh and whisper
for the rain to cease following its path.
Each storm wailed aloud brings minutes
or hours of clear eyes and flirtatious therapy.  
She plays me with metronome precision.
Where will your little feet take you today?
