Shipwreck…
Water splashed on your face. You said, don’t drown, don’t sink.
flower
I climb from my branch And settle on your crease Folded neatly like a razor- blade In a grass of tongues that lick The soles of my shoes, I walk Through dew bare- legged Crunching glass in my wake.
sun
heavy petals, under heavy sun I do not wilt, I bask in the white- light is it the star? or your smile? the sky never shined as bright.
Roses
roses are red violets are blue who knew?
