Master of the pixies

It all started with an idea.
The drama escalating with a Persil smelling bed sheet, Auntie Margaret and me… somewhere.
The persona of a young woman:
paraded and stuffed,
dressed and made-up.
The denial of womanhood, the rites of passage and me…somewhere.
The play continues.
I stood swirling above myself:
green tights,
pointed ears,
and blushed cheeks.
My own private audience, Master of the Pixies, Auntie Margaret and me…somewhere.
