New Poetry by Elan Radousky

Wrapping Paper 

A small imaginary being 

carved out of human form 

and gifted to a world 

that has magical powers

when she believed 

she had gold fairies growing

down at the bottom of her 

very frilly dress 

of uncut roses and

pressed seaweed

anointed in green olives 

from some foreign realm

of promised jars.
