giants

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 there clearly perceived'.
