Make me naked by petal, walking by vine
and just a seed, two lip pieces, tulip
then bury me in you i know you’re mine
rushing slowly soil, sunk, blossom tip
give me kiss for color, coming on to
you. On you, no limbs but falling leaf
by leaf, bipedal, standing—but bent, you
blow the dandelion dust, white, belief
is something but lust for a wish to come
true. I have to lay here next to you.
It’s spring already, by trunk gold bees hum,
new roots are sprouting from the wish you blew.
Fold you over, fold me bare and red
then dwindle, unkindle, lay your sleeping head.

new roots are sprouting from the wish you blew.
Fold you over, fold me bare and red
then dwindle, unkindle, lay your sleeping head.
