She says she has known moments
When an outer bright & varied
World appears
"Spots of time" in which inflected
Perception of a sudden clears
Mindful of time she repairs
To her room at the top of the stairs
Pestered by giants who bend
To her window with a will to win
Her hand & turn her head
She slipped out of her bed
In dread of what her father said
"Giants exist to deceive
They retreat if the're clearly perceived"
