The fruit still slumbers in the garden
My eyes were torn open by the light
Twinkling grassy dust slumps in the air just beyond my eyelashes.
A story told me once that dust is human skin.
So perhaps now, a French debutante mingles with my curtains
While an Italian man rests idly in my best patterned teacup.
The strawberries sleep on.
Waking up on a late spring morning.

Wow. This is really great! What an intriguing mixture of ideas and imagery. I love the line twinkling grassy dust slumps in the air just beyond my eyelashes - what a fantastic sentence!
