C for Cherry
tangy glow of cherry blossomsa berry of periwinkle, sherry
and a pink umbrella, breathy
dive toward blurry confetti lights
sprinkles in starry eyes
the look of condensed honey
ripples of giggles,
travel down cherry stem

Lilly Pads
Textsoaked in oxygen. an era of damp lily pads
under navy sky lit by doting stars
hazy lows of willow branches
pale rocks drowned in moss.

Paragraph
They Live in My Shadow
Textalligators in a river of milk
blink at the rising sun, spill
into my morning cup of coffee.
before I put on my shoes
they tie my laces in a knot and weave
my hair into a nest for the birds
that clean their teeth. when I go outside,
they dip into my shadow, watched
as I learned algebra and never disappeared
they used to make cookies, hid
chocolate chips all around the house.
now they waddle in yellow rain boots
through puddles, we played yesterday:
a nap in our natural habitat of tan couches,
ink stains on my hand and the rug
Dandelion Drips
at daybreak prop up the sun
to the swell of dandelions
through cloudless sky
dwell in swirl of hazel
and knocks on hollow doors
with bitter sweet whispers of roses.
light refracted to dwell
in voices like paper flowers,
folded notes of wishes
covered in dust
where dandelion drops
float on glass seas
