Alice and Dorothy:
Two Little Girls on a Marriage-Go-Round

Suzanne Richardson Harvey, Ph.D.

Grey smudges blur the mirror in Wonderland
A midnight spin through a gin glazed glass
Keeps splintered dreams
From invading Alice’s boudoir
Sucking blusher from her cheeks
Draining violet shadow from an eyelid at 4 AM

Dorothy swings a shovel under a lead sky
In a field of bulging silos and heaps of stray manure
Where the world sags
With the price of corn
Where hubby Henry enfolds her
Like an empty burlap bag
Where a cyclone is the savior
Who’ll spin her to another wizard
With a promise of ruby slippers
And the magic of a rainbow.
