Petals of paper
for a stature svelte.
An opxum core.
Swindling willow
waltz upon a stage.
Tethered by the same roots.
A lusty moon,
an ascending tide.
Longing lovers without passports.
Army of emerald soldiers
seduced by ruby gypsies.
Ashen by a kiss.
Clumsy hearts vitrified -
never worn on sleeves.
Await a hummingbird.
