Princess and Gnomes Poem by David Michael Jackson

she’s lying in there
and I am in here in this world
of dragons and knights
wandering among the gnomes
castles and flowers
in the
sun

and she is my princess
asleep
on a bed of
leaves
and I am her king
this night
and I will meet my princess
when she awakes
and finds me
here
in
my
robe

***
